The artery is generally eponymic, but it has several other names, including: great radicular artery of Adamkiewicz [7] major anterior segmental medullary artery; artery of the lumbar enlargement [8] great anterior radiculomedullary artery [9] great anterior segmental medullary artery [10] great ventral radicular artery [6]
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.
During embryological development, about 75% of the segmental medullary arteries regress, forming the thinner (anterior and posterior) radicular arteries (which supply the two roots and sensory ganglion of each spinal nerve); the remaining segmental medullary arteries persist to contribute arterial supply to the spinal cord, as well as giving rise to the aforementioned radicular arteries.
Anterior spinal artery syndrome is the most common form of spinal cord infarction. [1] The anterior spinal cord is at increased risk for infarction because it is supplied by the single anterior spinal artery and has little collateral circulation, unlike the posterior spinal cord which is supplied by two posterior spinal arteries.
He is credited with describing the major anterior segmental medullary artery, which is also known as the Artery of Adamkiewicz. [2] In the early 1890s, Adamkiewicz published a series of articles claiming the discovery of a cancer-causing parasite he called Coccidium sarcolytus, as well as the existence of an anti-cancer serum. Further testing ...

Segmental medullary arteries, notably the artery of Adamkiewicz, could be excluded from circulation after blockage of intercostal arteries by the device, which directly branches from descending aorta. [12] Furthermore, during open repair, blood flow within aorta is halted by clamping to facilitate the sewing of interposition graft. [12]
This artery in turn receives its blood from the different radiculospinal branches, which are formed from the aorta and vertebral arteries. As the largest of the radiculospinal artery branches, the artery of Adamkiewicz provides a large amount of blood to the anterior spinal artery, thereby also supplying a good amount to the anterior spinal cord.
