Angiography-induced closure of perimedullary spinal arteriovenous fistula

Br J Radiol. 2004 Nov;77(923):969-73. doi: 10.1259/bjr/30760081.

Abstract

Type 4 spinal vascular malformations are called perimedullary arteriovenous fistulae, in which there is a shunt between a radicular artery and intradural veins. We report the spinal MR imaging and angiography findings of the angiography-induced closure of a type 4 spinal vascular malformation.
