Abstract
|
|
|
The patients with spinal arteriovenous malformation (SAVM) typically present with neck or back pain, root dysfunction, or myelopathy. However SAVM presenting with intracranial lesion has not been specifically reported in young adolescences or children. We present a 16-year-old girl who has cervical SAVM presenting with acute hydrocephalus and intraventricular
hemorrhage (IVH). Selective embolization of feeding artery was performed. After conservative treatment, she recovered well. This case demonstrates the importance of considering SAVM as a possible etiology in patient with hydrocephalus
and IVH without definite intracranial abnormality.
