Use of Fluorescent Indocyanine Green Angiography During Microsurgical Resection of a Recurrent Giant Perimedullary Cervical Spinal Arteriovenous Fistula in a Patient with Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia

چکیده
We report the utility of fluorescent indocyanine green (ICG) during the microsurgical resection of a giant perimedullary cervical arteriovenous fistula (GPMAVF) in a young man with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia. ICG angiography is a useful adjunct for understanding angioarchitecture and drainage patterns in spinal arteriovenous malformation (AVM) surgery. Cervical GPMAVF is a rare spinal lesion found in association with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia. This vascular malformation is associated with venous varices in a perimedullary location causing cord compression and vascular steal. This rare case highlights the crucial role of ICG during complex spinal AVM/AVF surgery to obtain angiographic cure.

Our objective was to both describe and show (via video) the use of intraoperative indocyanine green (ICG) video-angiography for obliteration of a spinal dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF). ICG video-angiography is an emerging tool for delineating intraoperative vascular anatomy with significant potential in the treatment of vascular diseases in the spine. The authors presented the case of a 49-...

Perimedullary arteriovenous fistula (AVF) shunts occur on the spinal cord surface and can be treated surgically or by endovascular embolization. In contrast, the nidus of an intramedullary arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is located in the spinal cord and is difficult to treat surgically or by endovascular techniques. The benefits of radiotherapy for treating intramedullary AVM have been publis...

A 35-year-old man suffered secondary generalized tonic-clonic convulsions due to a large brain abscess. Neuroimaging incidentally revealed another tumor-like lesion. Cerebral angiography confirmed that the lesion was an unusual giant venous varix associated with a high-flow pial arteriovenous fistula (AVF) and showed one more small arteriovenous malformation (AVM). Pulmonary AVF, which can caus...

A unique case of recurrent brain abscess as the primary manifestation of pulmonary arteriovenous fistula is presented. In the absence of hematologic abnormalities and characteristic physical findings, the diagnosis of pulmonary arteriovenous fistula is particularly elusive. Patients with brain abscess must be carefully evaluated for the presence of pulmonary arteriovenous fistula or hereditary ...
