Spanish term

adosamiento de las raíces nerviosas lumbares en racimo

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general) MRI Reports
This phrase is part of a description of MRI findings in a patient with neurological symptoms after spinal anesthesia.

The complete sentence reads: "En el reporte de la RM ... se notó un *adosamiento de las raíces nerviosas lumbares en racimo* compatible con la imagen de aracnoiditis en la región lumbar, más evidente en L3-L4."

I understand that this is an adhesion of or in the lumbar nerve roots, but I'm not sure how to add the 'en racimo' part.

Thanks as always for the help!

Note from asker:
Hola David and thanks for your answer. I chose the other suggestion because in this context it seems to me that 'en racimo' is describing something that happened (along with the 'adosamiento') as a result of the procedure.
