Stent grafting resolved brachial plexus neuropathy due to cervical arteriovenous fistula.

We report a rare case of an iatrogenic vertebrovenous fistula presenting with a brachial plexus neuropathy and a cervical bruit. This arteriovenous fistula (AVF) was successfully occluded by implanting a stent graft into the right vertebral artery. After the stenting, the cervical bruit ceased and the radiculopathy slowly improved. This case highlights the usefulness of such new devices as covered stent grafts, and the therapeutic options for effectively treating AVFs while maintaining patency of the vertebral artery.
