FIGURE2.12Arteriesofthespinalcord.
FIGURE2.13Arterialsupplyandvenousdrainageofthespinalcord.
PosteriorSpinalArteries
Thepaired posterior spinalarteries derived fromthevertebral arteriesdescend 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 radiculararteries.Atpointsalongthecord,theposteriorspinalarteriesbecome sosmallthattheyappeartobediscontinuous.Thearteriessupplybloodtothe 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 anastomosisbetweentheanteriorandposteriorspinalarteries(Figure2.13).
FIGURE2.14 Diagram showing the extent of the lesion in anterior cord(spinalartery)syndromeandassociatedneurologicsigns.
RadicularArteries
Thesegmentalvesselsthatpassthroughtheintervertebralforaminadivideinto posteriorandanteriorradiculararteries,whichfollowtheposteriorandanterior roots, respectively (Figure 2.13). At variable levels, the radicular arteries continue coursing medially until they anastomose with either the anterior or posteriorspinalarteries.Theanteriorradiculararteriescontributetotheanterior spinalartery,andtheposteriorradiculararteriescontributetotheposteriorspinal arteries.Inthelumbarregion,oneanteriorradiculararteryisquitelargeandis knownasthearteryof Adamkiewicz(Figure2.12).Thisarteryisusuallyfound ontheleftandentersthevertebralcanalbyfollowingananteriorrootateithera lowthoracicorupperlumbarlevelbeforeanastomosingwiththeanteriorspinal artery.ThearteryofAdamkiewiczreinforcesthecirculationtotwo-thirdsofthe spinalcord,includingthelumbosacralenlargement.Occlusionofthisarterymay seriously compromise spinal cord circulation, which could lead to infarct and paraplegia.
Thegreatestdistancebetweenradiculararteriesthatcontributessignificantly totheanterior andposterior spinalarteriesisfoundat thethoracic levelofthe spinal cord. At this level, occlusion of just one radicular artery could lead to significant infarct of spinal tissue. The T1–T4 levels of the thoracic cord are particularlyvulnerabletoinfarctfollowingocclusionofaradicularartery.Spinal cordsegmentL1isanothervulnerableregion.
FIGURE 2.15 Collateral circulation of the spinal cord. When posteriorintercostalsare tiedoffsurgically,bloodflowstothespinal cord via internal thoracic and lateral thoracic (not shown) artery anastomoseswithposteriorintercostalarteries.
FIGURE 2.16 Veins of the spinal cord and the vertebral venous plexus.
CollateralCirculationoftheSpinalCord
Severe trauma to the vertebral column on the left at the thoracic level can fracturethebodiesofoneormorevertebrae.Asurgeonoftenmustmobilizethe descendingaortatotherighttoexposethefracturedvertebralbodies,removethe bonyfragments,andstabilizethespine.Theaortaismobilizedbyfirsttyingoff severalposteriorintercostalarteriesclosetotheiroriginfromtheaorta,severing thearteriesinthisregion,andthenmovingtheaortatotheright(Figure 2.15). Theupperthoracicspinalcordisparticularlyvulnerabletoinfarctifbloodflow into the cord from an important segmental vessel is interrupted. The above surgicalprocedure, 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 showninthefigure,HollinsheadandRosse(30)havesuggestedthatthelateral thoracic artery (a branch of the axillary artery)alsohas anastomoses with the posterior intercostals and thus provides a second source of blood flow to the spinalcordundertheseconditions.
VeinsoftheSpinalCord
Ingeneral,thedistributionpatternoftheveinsofthespinalcordissimilartothat ofthespinalarteries(Figure2.16).Threelongitudinallyorientedposteriorspinal veinsandthreeanteriorspinalveinscommunicatefreelywitheachotherandare drained by anterior and posterior radicular veins, which join the internal vertebral(epidural)venousplexuslyingintheepiduralspace(Figure2.16).This plexusofveinspassessuperiorlywithinthevertebralcanalthroughtheforamen magnum to communicate with the dural sinuses and veins within the skull (Figure2.16).Theinternalvertebralvenousplexusalsocommunicateswiththe externalvertebralvenousplexusontheexternalsurfaceofthevertebrae.
Therearenovalvesinthespinousvenousnetwork.Thus,bloodflowingin thesevesselscouldpassdirectlyintothesystemicvenoussystem.Forinstance, whenintra-abdominalpressureisincreased,bloodfromthepelvicvenousplexus passessuperiorlyviathe internal vertebral plexus. When the jugular veins are obstructed, blood leaves the skull by this same plexus. Because the prostatic
plexusiscontinuouswiththevertebralvenoussystem,neoplasmsoriginatingin theprostateglandmaymetastasizeandlodgeinvertebrae,spinalcord,brain,or skull(31).

INTRODUCTION
Thischapterisstructuredtoprovideanoverviewofthemorphologicfindingsin thosedisordersthat physiciansengaged inthepracticeofspinal cordmedicine aremostlikelytoencounter.Itiswrittenwithanemphasisonclinicopathologic correlationandinsuchamannerastoprovidethepractitioner,wherepossible, withaninsightintopathogeneticmechanisms.
SPINALVASCULARDISEASE SpinalArterialInfarction
Althoughallofthearterialbloodsupplytothespinalcordisultimatelyderived fromtheaorta,itisprovidedbyonlyseventoeightradiculomedullarybranches (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 radiculararterythatusuallyentersthespinalcanalnearthevertebralbodyofT7, andthethoracolumbarregionislargelydependentonasinglemajorartery,the artery of Adamkiewicz, which enters usually on the left side, accompanying spinalnerverootsoriginatinganywherefromT8toL3(2).Forthisreason,the
spinal cord from T5 downward is particularly susceptible to arterial insufficiency.
Theradiculomedullaryarteries,uponentryintothespinalcanal,ramifyover 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 arterialnetworksupplyingthewhitematter,incontrasttotheend-arterialsupply of the gray matter, severe systemic circulatory impairment tends to produce damagemainlytothegraymatter(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,themostcommonpatternofdamageisonethatislimitedlargely to the gray matter from upper to mid-thoracic levels downward (Figure 3.1), presumably because of the protective effect of the perimedullary anastomotic networkexertedonthespinalwhitematter(4).Clinically,therewillbepersistent flaccidparaplegia(becauseofsparingofthecorticospinaltracts)andlossofpain andtemperatureperception(becauseofinterruptionofthelateralspinothalamic pathways), with relative sparing of posterior column (proprioceptive) function (thisbeentermed“AnteriorCordSyndrome”).
Operativeinterruptionofamajorintercostalarterialfeeder(suchasligation ofthearteryofAdamkiewiczduringribresectioninpreparationforthoracotomy 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) becauseofdamagetothelateralcorticospinaltracts.
SpinalVascularEmbolicDisease
Occlusionoftheanteriorspinalartery(ASA)withresultantcavitaryinfarctionin itsterritoryofsupplyisrelativelyuncommonbut,whenitoccurs,isusuallythe resultofatheromatousorfibrocartilaginousembolism(3).Atheromatousemboli (Figures 3.3 and 3.4) tend to appear in relatively elderly subjects with severe
