Radicular veins (or segmental medullary veins[citation needed]) are segmental veins providing venous drainage of the spinal cord and canal. They communicate with anterior and posterior spinal veins as well as epidural venous plexus. They exit the spinal canal through the intervertebral foramina, accompanying the corresponding of radicular arteries.[1]
