Multidisciplinary management of multiple spinal dural arteriovenous fistulae

Int J Clin Exp Med. 2013 Sep 25;6(9):814-21. eCollection 2013.

Abstract

Multiple SDAVFs are quite rare. We present two cases with double synchronous shunts and both were treated during one-stage interventional or surgical procedure. Unique images of the multiple SDAVFs as a PMAVF-like fistula were obtained. These interesting findings suggest the presence of multiple fistulas must be considered in patients being evaluated for SDAVF. A multidisciplinary approach to the management of multiple SDAVFs should depend on the anatomic location and angioarchitecture.

Keywords: Multiple spinal dural arteriovenous fistulae; multidisciplinary management; perimedullary arteriovenous fistula.
