Résumé

The spinal cord comprises the part of the central nervous system located within the vertebral canal, extending from the foramen magnum to approximately the second lumbar vertebra. The spinal cord is covered by 3 meninges: dura mater, arachnoid mater, and pia mater (arranged from the outermost layer inward). A cross-section of the spinal cord reveals gray and white matter. Ascending and descending pathways have defined locations in the matter of the spinal cord. This article aims to review the spinal cord anatomy and demonstrate the imaging aspects, which are essential for the interpretation and understanding of spinal cord injuries.
