ABSTRACT

This article reviews the normal arterial supply to the vertebrae and spinal cord. Angiographic protocols for evaluation of vascular vertebral lesions and angiographic findings of pathological lesions are discussed. General principles concerning embolization of vertebral lesions are presented along with more sophisticated techniques.

KEYWORDS
