Newly Detected Cervical Spinal Dural Arteriovenous Fistula on Magnetic Resonance Angiography Causing Intracranial Subarachnoid Hemorrhage.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Although an asymptomatic spinal dural arteriovenous fistula (SDAVF) can sometimes be incidentally detected on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), there are no previous reports showing the development of an SDAVF on MRI or magnetic resonance angiography (MRA). CASE DESCRIPTION:A 64-year old man with unruptured vertebral artery dissection (VAD) developed a subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) during regular follow-up. Emergent endovascular coil internal trapping for the VAD was performed; however, angiography after the endovascular treatment showed a lower cervical SDAVF. The SDAVF was considered the bleeding source based on subsequent spinal MRI, and endovascular embolization was performed. In this case, previous serial MRA examinations indicated that the SDAVF appeared for the first time during follow-up, and SAH occurred. CONCLUSIONS:This may be the first report in which serial MRA studies demonstrated the course of this condition, from the appearance of an SDAVF to the development of SAH. An abnormal vascular structure detected on MRA indicated abnormal enlargement of the perimedullary vein and the presence of a cervical SDAVF. A lower cervical SDAVF should be suspected if such an abnormal vascular structure is detected on MRA.

  • Intractable Hiccups as the Primary Symptom of a Perimedullary Arteriovenous Fistula at the Craniocervical Junction.

    abstract:BACKGROUND:Hiccups are a well-known short-term phenomenon in daily life. If they persist or become intractable, they may be a primary symptom of a disease. Recent studies identified the medulla oblongata as the neuroanatomic center of the hiccup reflex arc. In previous cases, an isolated lesion at the dorsal side of th...
