The basivertebral vessel (BVV) is the main artery originating from the posterior part of the vertebral body directly from the intra-spinal canal epidural vessels. Normal basivertebral arteries penetrate the body centrally, maintaining its caliber and giving coil ramifications. The BVV is visible in imaging, particularly magnetic resonance imaging so that it may reflect the epidural vascular network. It may appear hypointense with T1 without contrast (A), hyperintense with T2 sequences (especially T2 STIR and Water, (B), and T1 with contrast (C).
