A single thoracic radicular artery (artery of Adamkiewicz) arises from the aorta at T7 (most vul nerable to low flow); 75% arise from T9–T12; 80% arise from the left 2. Posterior arterial system a. Paired posterior spinal arteries form a leptomeningeal perimedullary network that anastomoses with the anterior system, most prominently at the level of the conus where the anastomotic loop is located. b. Blood from the posterior medullary arteries flows centripetally in the perforating branches from the leptomeningeal system of the spinal cord surface to the posterior columns and posterior horns.
