CASE REPORT Spinal dural arteriovenous fistula in a case with lipomyelodys- plasia

چکیده
Coexistence of a spinal dural arteriovenous fistula within a dysraphic spinal lesion is a very rare situation. We report a 40-year-old man who presented with low back pain and progressive paraparesis. MR images showed an intradural high signal intensity mass at the L2–L3 level containing irregular signal void structures. Spinal angiography revealed extradural arteriovenous fistula with three connections, drained by a tortuous perimedullary vein.

A spinal dural arteriovenous fistula is an abnormally layered connection between radicular arteries and venous plexus of the spinal cord. This vascular condition is relatively rare with an incidence of 5-10 cases per million in the general population. Diagnosis of spinal dural arteriovenous fistula is differentiated by contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography or structural magnetic reso...

متن کاملDural Arteriovenous Fistula of the Transverse and Sigmoid Sinus Manifesting Ascending Dysesthesia: Case Report and Literature Review
Cases involving intracranial dural arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) with spinal perimedullary venous drainage exhibit variable presentations, which results in delayed diagnoses. We describe a case of a 66-year-old female with a transverse-sigmoid sinus dural AVF with spinal perimedullary venous drainage who developed dysesthesia and hypalgesia that ascended from the peripheral lower extremities. S...
