The authors present a review of spinal cord blood supply, discussing the anatomy of the
vascular system and physiological aspects of blood flow regulation in normal and injured …

Animal models are used to examine the results of experimental spinal cord injury.
Alterations in spinal cord blood supply caused by complex spinal cord injuries contribute …

Evolution has provided man with a spinal cord protected by bone and amply supplied with
blood. Many vessels to and from the spinal cord can be blocked without ill effect, for …

The arterial network that supplies the human spinal cord, which was once thought to be
similar to that of the brain, is in fact much different and more extensive. In this article, the …

✓ The effect of spinal cord trauma on the vasculature and blood flow of the spinal cord is
reviewed. Both quantitative and nonquantitative studies are critically discussed and reasons …

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 …

✓ Vascular injury plays an important role in the primary and secondary injury mechanisms
that cause damage to the acutely traumatized spinal cord. To understand the …

The blood supply to the spine is based on a predictable segmental vascular structure at
each spinal level, but true radiculomedullary arteries, which feed the dominant cord supply …

Studies of experimental spinal cord injury began approximately 100 years ago, and since
then many useful models of acute experimental spinal cord injury have been developed …

✓ Spinal cord blood flow (SCBF) was measured in 24 rhesus monkeys after injury to the
cord produced by the inflatable circumferential extradural cuff technique. Measurement of …
