Abstract
Our limited knowledge about the physiology and pathology of the spinal blood supply contrasts with anatomical descriptions of the spinal vascular system from as early as the end of the 19th century by Adamkiewicz (1881, 1882) and, with a precision that has hardly been achieved since then, by Kadyi (1889). Earlier studies, such as those by Duret (1873) and Ross (1880) were less defined, incomplete and unsystematic. Until about the middle of this century, the spinal vascular system was seldom the object of thorough anatomical research. However, one must mention the comprehensive works of Tureen (1938), Suh and Alexander (1939) as well as Herren and Alexander (1939), who called back to mind the results of Kadyi (1889).
