Morphometric analysis of significant vascular structures in posterior disc surgery with computed tomography angiography.

CONCLUSION: The L4-5 IDL RCIA was located at the midline and at a 30° angle position. The LCIV was located between them. The L5-S1 IDL located at LCIA left at 60° position was quite close to ALL with LCIV. When the distance from the ALL was compared and the frequency of fat planes between the ALL and the CIAs are considered, it can be noted that the RCIA in the L4-L5 IDL (p<0.001) and the LCIA in the L5-S1 IDL (p<0.001) were located remotely and in a more protected position. It should be kept in mind that the LCIV can progress along the L4-5 ID level, adjacent to the ALL, as well as transversely. PMID: 30892671 [PubMed - in process]
