Lamina is a bony plate that forms part of the back wall of each vertebra in the spine. It helps create the spinal canal that protects the spinal cord and nerve roots. Lamina is commonly discussed in spine imaging reports and in surgeries such as laminectomy or laminoplasty. It is also relevant in fractures, tumors, infections, and degenerative narrowing of the spinal canal.
