Vertebral angiography in the diagnosis of intraspinal masses in upper cervical region

L'angiographie vertébrale dans le diagnostic de masse intra-médullaire de la région cervicale supérieure

Die Vertebralisarteriographie für die Diagnostik von intraspinalen Tumoren der oberen Cervicalregion

Neuroradiology Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Vertebral angiography will frequently demonstrate the outline of the upper cervical spinal cord, using both the arterial and venous phases. Thus, the spinal arteries and veins can be helpful in assessing intraspinal masses in this region, both inside and outside the cord Appropriate examples are shown.

Résumé

L'angiographie vertébrale montre fréquemment le contours du cordon médullaire cervical supérieur tant sur la phase artérielle que veineuse. Par conséquent, les artères et les veines spinales peuvent être d'un grand secours dans la localisation de masse de cette région, aussi bein à l'intérieur qu'à l'extérieur du cordon médullaire. Les auteurs donnent des exemples de tels cas.

Zusammenfassung

Bei der Vertebralisarteriographie wird oftmals die Begrenzung des oberen Halsmarks nachgewiesen, sowohl in der arteriellen als auch in der venösen Phase. Die Darstellung dieser Gefäße kann sehr nützlich bei intraspinallen Tumoren dieses Abschnittes sein, gleich ob es sich um intramedulläre oder um extramedulläre Geschwülste handelt.
