  2. Anterior spinal artery syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterior_spinal_artery...

    The anterior portion of the spinal cord is supplied by the anterior spinal artery. It begins at the foramen magnum where branches of the two vertebral arteries exit, merge, and descend along the anterior spinal cord. As the anterior spinal artery proceeds inferiorly, it receives branches originating mostly from the aorta. [1]

  3. Anterior spinal artery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterior_spinal_artery

    This occurs when the disruption of the anterior spinal artery is at the level of the spinal cord. Contrast this with medial medullary syndrome, when the anterior spinal artery is occluded at the level of the medulla oblongata. [citation needed] Disruption of its perforating branches (sulcal artery) can result in a hemicord syndrome.

  4. Vascular myelopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vascular_myelopathy

    Vascular myelopathy (vascular disease of the spinal cord) refers to an abnormality of the spinal cord in regard to its blood supply. [1] The blood supply is complicated and supplied by two major vessel groups: the posterior spinal arteries and the anterior spinal arteries—of which the Artery of Adamkiewicz is the largest. [2]

  5. Medial medullary syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medial_medullary_syndrome

    Medial medullary syndrome, also known as inferior alternating syndrome, hypoglossal alternating hemiplegia, lower alternating hemiplegia, [1] or Dejerine syndrome, [2] is a type of alternating hemiplegia characterized by a set of clinical features resulting from occlusion of the anterior spinal artery.

  6. Spinal cord stroke - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinal_cord_stroke

    Spinal cord stroke is a rare type of stroke with compromised blood flow to any region of spinal cord owing to occlusion or bleeding, leading to irreversible neuronal death. [1] It can be classified into two types, ischaemia and haemorrhage, in which the former accounts for 86% of all cases, a pattern similar to cerebral stroke.

  7. Artery of Adamkiewicz - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artery_of_Adamkiewicz

    The artery provides blood supply to the front two-thirds of the lumbar and sacral cord. [13] When damaged or obstructed, it can result in a syndrome of spinal cord ischemia, similar to anterior spinal artery syndrome, [14] with loss of urinary and fecal continence and impaired motor function of the legs; sensory function is often preserved to a ...

  8. Vertebral artery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertebral_artery

    The basilar artery is the main blood supply to the brainstem and connects to the Circle of Willis to potentially supply the rest of the brain if there is compromise to one of the carotids. At each cervical level, the vertebral artery sends branches to the surrounding musculature via the anterior spinal arteries.

  9. Arterial occlusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arterial_occlusion

    Arterial occlusion is a condition involving partial or complete blockage of blood flow through an artery. Arteries are blood vessels that carry oxygenated blood to body tissues. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] An occlusion of arteries disrupts oxygen and blood supply to tissues, leading to ischemia . [ 1 ]
