title: Angiography of the spinal cord after vertebral trauma.
abstract: Angiography of the spinal cord after trauma to the spine is reported in 14 new cases with neurological signs. Three types of angiographic signs are demonstrated: (1) arterial interruption of the anterior spinal artery, the ascending branch of the radiculomedullary arteries or the extravertebral arteries; (2) displacement of the anterior spinal artery without interruption; (3) hyperemia. The mechanism and significance of these signs are discussed.
