  2. 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.

  3. 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]

    At each cervical level, the vertebral artery sends branches to the surrounding musculature via the anterior spinal arteries. Segments of vertebral artery anterior projection. The vertebral artery may be divided into four parts: The first (preforaminal) part runs upward and backward between the anterior scalene and the longus colli muscles.

    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 ...

    Sectional organization of spinal cord. The spinal cord is the main pathway for information connecting the brain and peripheral nervous system. [3] [4] Much shorter than its protecting spinal column, the human spinal cord originates in the brainstem, passes through the foramen magnum, and continues through to the conus medullaris near the second lumbar vertebra before terminating in a fibrous ...

    MRI findings, including pencillike hyperintensities on T2-weighted sagittal images and "owl's eyes" or "snake eyes" sign on T2 axial images, indicate the infarction is predominately in the watershed area of the gray matter of ventral horn (anterior spinal artery infarct). [10]
