“…The clinical presentation and imaging features mimic non-compressive myelopathy like transverse myelitis. Since a dural AVF is rare and is easily missed if one doesn’t look for flow voids specifically, there is a chance of error or delay in diagnosis as well as treatment [ 3 ].…”

Syringomyelia Associated with Spinal Dural Arteriovenous Fistula: Clinical and Radiological Improvement after Embolization

Spinal dural arteriovenous fistulae (AVF) are rare and can result in spinal cord dysfunction. We present one such case wherein the patient presented with a venous congestive myelopathy. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a syrinx formation, spinal cord edema, and flow voids. Digital subtraction angiography confirmed the dural AVF, which was treated with embolization. The syrinx disappeared, other spinal cord changes improved, and the patient had remarkable clinical improvement. The case is presented to draw attention to the rare formation of a syrinx in a spinal dural arteriovenous fistula and its disappearance after successful embolization.

“…They further subdivided the type IV into three subtypes depending upon the number of feeding arteries and the size of AVF [8]. Further newer classifications are proposed by Rodesh in 2002, by Geibprasert in 2008, and by Rangel-Castilla in 2011 [9]. Discussing each classification will be beyond the scope of this article.…”

Spinal dural arteriovenous fistula (SDAVF) is the most common spinal vascular anomaly. It should always be considered in the differential diagnoses in a patient with progressive paraplegia or quadriplegia. We present a case of an elderly gentleman presenting with progressive paraplegia. The diagnosis was delayed as the previous physicians and radiologists missed the underlying key features of SDAVF on magnetic resonance imaging of the spine. Every neurologist and radiologist should be aware of these signs as SDAVF is mostly a treatable condition.

“…In addition, an MRI typically shows flow void of the radicular veins and cord enlargement. 8 Subsequent spinal cord angiography provides a definitive diagnosis and localizes the fistula.…”
