Spinal arteriovenous malformations.

چکیده
Spinal arteriovenous malformations originate probably by a detention in the normal evolution of the embryonic vessels. By unknow reasons, and about the end of the first month of the embryonic life, the normal differentation toward arteries, veins and capillaries fails, and non-differentiated vesseIs persist in the adult life, mantaining the anatomic and physiologic characteristics of the embryonic type.

Spinal dural arteriovenous fistula: a treatable cause of myelopathy.
Spinal vascular malformations (SVM) are rare diseases in comparison to vascular malforma‐ tions of the brain. Spinal dural arteriovenous fistulas (SDAVFs), also known as Type I spinal arteriovenous malformations, account for 70% of spinal vascular malformations, and are the most common vascular malformations of the spinal cord and its surrounding dura mater; however, they remain relatively unde...
متن کاملIntraarterial digital subtraction angiography of spinal arteriovenous malformations.
Intraarterial digital subtraction angiography (DSA) in two patients with spinal dural arteriovenous fistulas demonstrated the major feeding arteries and the venous drainage of the respective malformations. However, the dural component of the malformations--which distinguishes them from intradural malformations--could not be recognized, nor was normal cord vasculature demonstrated. In a patient ...

PURPOSE To determine the potential and limitations of MR angiography in the evaluation of spinal vascular malformations. METHODS Eleven consecutive patients with spinal vascular malformations proved with spinal selective arteriography underwent two-dimensional phase-contrast MR angiography. RESULTS Abnormal vessels within the spinal canal were identified with MR angiography in 10 patients. ...
متن کاملModified classification of spinal cord vascular lesions.
The literature on spinal vascular malformations contains a great deal of confusing terminology. Some of the nomenclature is inconsistent with the lesions described. Based on the experience of the senior author (R.F.S.) in the treatment of more than 130 spinal cord vascular lesions and based on a thorough review of the relevant literature, the authors propose a modified classification system for...
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...
متن کاملMR imaging of spinal cord arteriovenous malformations at 0.5 T: study of 34 cases.
Thirty-four patients with angiographically proved arteriovenous malformations of the spinal cord were studied between May 1986 and July 1987. Examinations were performed on a CGR 5000 Magniscan 0.5-T scanner with a surface coil in all cases, and multislices in both T1- and T2-weighted sequences were obtained in sagittal and axial planes. The results showed that MR can accurately diagnose all ca...
