Abstract
|
|
|
|
Spinal arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are rare, and cervical AVMs are particularly unusual. Spinal dural fistula is a more common form of spinal AVM, although it is often missed and, as a result, is underdiagnosed. MRI findings can provide clues that aid in differential diagnosis, and angiography can be used to confirm AVF. We describe a recent case of AVF of the medullocervical junction misdiagnosed as encephalomyelitis on initial assessment.
