Abstract

We report a case of an unusual spontaneous obliteration of a spinal dural arteriovenous fistula after diagnosis confirmation through spinal angiography. To our knowledge, there are only two previously documented cases of spontaneous disappearance of non-traumatic spinal dural arteriovenous fistulas.

Keywords: dural arteriovenous fistula; spinal angiography; spine surgery; vascular malformation.
