Basic clinical descriptions of common patterns of spinal cord involvement are related to essential aspects of spinal cord anatomy. The spinal cord is located inside the vertebral canal, which is formed by the foramina of 7 cervical, 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar, and 5 sacral vertebrae, which together form the spine.
The spinal cord transmits information between the spinal cord and brain to the nerves and muscles. The distal or terminal portion of the spinal cord is also referred to as the conus medullaris. In adults, the spinal cord terminates at approximately the level of L1. This space is created by the differential growth of the vertebral column compared with the spinal cord, which causes the spinal cord to ascend with growth.
