[Anatomo-radiological study of the spinal venous system of the lumbo-sacral junction]. / Contribution à l'étude anatomo-radiologique du système veineux rachidien de la jonction lombo-sacrée

Transfemoral ascending lumbar catheterization of the epidural veins is a new radiological method in lumbar disk disease. The technique and interpretation of the venogram offer some problems: Origin of ascending lumbar vein and internal vertebral venous structures are variable. The authors use 11 corrosion preparations and 18 venograms for the study of the ascending lumbar vein and internal vertebral venous system.
