Head and neck?

I'm a little skeptical that this belongs in {{Arteries of head and neck}}, I have to say. It's usually a branch of the abdominal aorta. — JVinocur (talk • contribs) 09:22, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

the MRA image

The MRA image is of the lower abdominal aorta. The artery that is identified as the artery of adamkiewicz is actually the superior mesenteric artery.

The Adamk. a. comes off the aorta posteriorly - the same side as the internal iliac or hypogastric arteries seen as the first branches after the aortic bifurcation.

The Adamk. a. is not the size of the external iliac and is usually not visible on MRA.

The SMA has the characteristic appearance of the artery denoted in the image. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brightondiffusion (talk • contribs) 18:20, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm replacing the image with the CT below in the article, it represents the artery more clearly. I will do my best to find/make more images of it. ;) There are many on the internet but I haven't found any free one yet. – Tilifa Ocaufa (talk) 20:24, 1 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
