Definition[Bearbeiten]
The intervertebral veins are veins in the area of the spinal column.
Anatomy[Bearbeiten]
The intervertebral veins accompany the spinal nerves through the intervertebral foramina. They receive their blood from the spinal cord veins and from the internal and external vertebral venous plexus.
The outflow of the intervertebral veins depends on their localisation (see table).
| Localisation | Intervertebral vein(s) |
|---|---|
| neck | vertebral vein |
| Thorax | Intercostal veins |
| lumbar region | lumbar veins |
| sacral region | venae sacrales laterales |
