If the pedicles are shorter than normal, the spinal canal will be smaller than normal. In patients with smaller than normal spinal canals, issues causing stenosis that may be asymptomatic in others, can be highly symptomatic. It is not uncommon to have this issue go unmentioned by several doctors before it is highlighted by one. This is especially true if the condition is borderline.
