Spinal epidural arteriovenous fistulas: arterial and venous approaches to embolization

AJNR Am J Neuroradiol. 1993 Jul-Aug;14(4):812-7.

Abstract

The authors describe two patients with multiple spinal arteriovenous fistulas and exclusive epidural venous drainage. Both presented with a myelopathy caused by compression by large epidural veins. Both had arterial embolizations, but one required a venous approach to achieve a stable clinical result.
