Spinal myoclonus and clinical worsening after intravenous contrast medium in a patient with spinal arteriovenous malformation.

چکیده
Spinal myoclonus with arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) of the spinal cord after intravenous administration of contrast material is extremely rare. Only one case of spinal myoclonus after intravenous infusion of contrast medium for computed tomography (CT) was found in our literature review [1]. We report a second case of spinal myoclonus and symptoms of a transverse spinal lesion consequent to the intravenous administration of urographic contrast medium in a patient subsequently proven to have an AVM.

Our case is unique because the patient had an undiagnosed cervical spinal arteriovenous malformation (AVM) discovered on pathological analysis of the evacuated hematoma. Although the spinal manipulation likely contributed to the rupture of the AVM, there was no radiograp...
متن کاملTime-resolved contrast-enhanced MR angiography of spinal vascular malformations.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The diagnosis of spinal vascular malformations may be challenging on conventional MR imaging because neither the location of the signal abnormality in the spinal cord nor the level of the abnormal flow voids correlates with the level of the fistula. We conducted a retrospective evaluation of the utility of using a time-resolved imaging of contrast kinetics sequence in the...
