Embolization of intramedullary arteriovenous malformations of the spinal cord.
Intramedullary spinal cord arteriovenous malformation (AVM) can be a devastating disease. It is not usually amenable to surgery without producing severe neurologic deficit. Previously, the risk of cord ischemia was considered a contraindication to therapeutic embolization. Three patients with intramedullary spinal cord AVMs were examined and treated using polyvinyl alcohol foam, mixed with Gelf...
متن کاملElectrophysiological signs of arteriovenous malformations of the spinal cord.
A characteristic pattern of electrophysiological changes was found in 24 patients with confirmed spinal cord arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). The AVMs were limited to the thoracic cord in seven, involved the conus and the cauda equina in 10, and involved all levels in six. Of the patients, 88% had at least one definite electrophysiological abnormality: nerve conduction studies showed abnorma...
متن کاملSpinal arteriovenous malformations.
Spinal arteriovenous malformations originate probably by a detention in the normal evolution of the embryonic vessels. By unknow reasons, and about the end of the first month of the embryonic life, the normal differentation toward arteries, veins and capillaries fails, and non-differentiated vesseIs persist in the adult life, mantaining the anatomic and physiologic characteristics of the embryo...
متن کاملParkes Weber syndrome and spinal arteriovenous malformations.
We read with great interest the article written by Alomari et al, and agree with the authors that Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome is not associated with spinal cord AVM. However, in their discussion, in relationship to spinal cord AVM with Parkes Weber syndrome, they comment briefly that “Spinal AVM has not been reported to be a feature of Parkes Weber syndrome.” Here, we demonstrate a case of Parke...
متن کاملEmbolization of spinal arteriovenous fistulae, spinal arteriovenous malformations, and tumors of the spinal axis.
Indications The indications for embolization of spinal cord AVMs include all symptomatic patients with lesions that can be cured; adjuvant therapy before surgery/radiosurgery; and palliative therapy when total obliteration is not practical and the patient suffers from progressive neurologic deficit or high risk of hemorrhage (associated aneurysm or pseudoaneurysm, previous hemorrhage) or when p...
