PosteriorSpinalArteries
Thepaired posterior spinalarteries derived fromthevertebral arteriesdescend
on the posterior surface of the spinal cord just medial to the posterior roots
(Figure 2.12). The arteries receive variable contributions from the posterior
radiculararteries.Atpointsalongthecord,theposteriorspinalarteriesbecome
sosmallthattheyappeartobediscontinuous.Thearteriessupplybloodtothe
posterior one-third of the spinal cord. The peripheral portions of the lateral
funiculi are supplied by the arterial vasocorona, which is formed by an
anastomosisbetweentheanteriorandposteriorspinalarteries(Figure2.13).

Theupperthoracicspinalcordisparticularlyvulnerabletoinfarctifbloodflow
into the cord from an important segmental vessel is interrupted. The above
surgicalprocedure, however,does not interrupt the flow of blood through the
intervertebral foramen, and thus to the spinal cord, because of collateral
circulation. This collateral circulation results from the anastomosis of the
internal thoracic artery (a branch of the subclavian artery) with the posterior
intercostal artery. As soon as blood flow from the aorta is interrupted, blood
begins retrograde flow from the internal thoracic artery through the posterior
intercostal artery and into the spinal cord (Figure 2.15). Although this is not
showninthefigure,HollinsheadandRosse(30)havesuggestedthatthelateral
thoracic artery (a branch of the axillary artery)alsohas anastomoses with the
posterior intercostals and thus provides a second source of blood flow to the
spinalcordundertheseconditions.

SPINALVASCULARDISEASE
SpinalArterialInfarction
Althoughallofthearterialbloodsupplytothespinalcordisultimatelyderived
fromtheaorta,itisprovidedbyonlyseventoeightradiculomedullarybranches
(1). Because the cervical and upper two to three thoracic spinal segments are
relatively richly supplied, arterial infarction in this region rarely occurs. The
middle thoracic (T4–T8) region, however, is typically dependent on a single
radiculararterythatusuallyentersthespinalcanalnearthevertebralbodyofT7,
andthethoracolumbarregionislargelydependentonasinglemajorartery,the
artery of Adamkiewicz, which enters usually on the left side, accompanying
spinalnerverootsoriginatinganywherefromT8toL3(2).Forthisreason,the

spinal cord from T5 downward is particularly susceptible to arterial
insufficiency.
Theradiculomedullaryarteries,uponentryintothespinalcanal,ramifyover
the surface of the spinal cord to form a perimedullary arterial network that
coalesces into a single anterior and two posterior spinal arteries that send
centripetally directed branches into the underlying white matter. The internal
portion of the spinal cord is supplied by sulcal arteries coursing through the
anterior median fissure and sending branches directed centrifugally,
predominantly into gray matter. Because of the relatively rich anastomotic
arterialnetworksupplyingthewhitematter,incontrasttotheend-arterialsupply
of the gray matter, severe systemic circulatory impairment tends to produce
damagemainlytothegraymatter(3).
Arterial infarction of the spinal cord develops most commonly as a
consequence of factors arising outside of the spinal canal (e.g., profound
systemic circulatory impairment [shock or cardiac arrest] or surgical crossclamping or disease of the aorta or its major branches). Under these
circumstances,themostcommonpatternofdamageisonethatislimitedlargely
to the gray matter from upper to mid-thoracic levels downward (Figure 3.1),
presumably because of the protective effect of the perimedullary anastomotic
networkexertedonthespinalwhitematter(4).Clinically,therewillbepersistent
flaccidparaplegia(becauseofsparingofthecorticospinaltracts)andlossofpain
andtemperatureperception(becauseofinterruptionofthelateralspinothalamic
pathways), with relative sparing of posterior column (proprioceptive) function
(thisbeentermed“AnteriorCordSyndrome”).
Operativeinterruptionofamajorintercostalarterialfeeder(suchasligation
ofthearteryofAdamkiewiczduringribresectioninpreparationforthoracotomy
for aortic surgery) will result in noncavitary ischemic atrophy of the ventral
portion of the spinal cord (Figure 3.2) (5). In this situation, lower extremity
weakness is usually of upper motor neuron (UMN) type (i.e., with spasticity)
becauseofdamagetothelateralcorticospinaltracts.
