In one study of 129 adults, the point of termination of the spinal cord varied from the lower third of the twelfth thoracic vertebra to the middle third of the third lumbar. In 95% of these 129 cases, the cord terminated at the level of the first and second lumbar vertebra. There are adult cases recorded with spinal cord till L5.

But another 5% may also come for spinal anaesthesia. Share your opinion.
