Blood supply to the spinal cord: Anatomic and physiologic correlations

  • General Review

Although the subject has been studied for many years, the clinician's understanding of the blood supply to the spinal cord is complicated by both confusing nomenclature and conflicting data. This review attempts to clarify prevailing thoughts on the arterial and venous structures in this clinically important area.
