BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Catheter angiography is typically used for follow-up of
treated spinal AVFs. The purpose of this study was to determine the diagnostic performance …

Objective and background: Spinal arteriovenous fistula (SAVF) is a rare but treatable cause
of myelopathy. The diagnostic accuracy of MRI for detecting SAVF is unknown. Our objective …

The role of multi-detector-row computed tomographic angiography (MDCTA) in spinal
vascular malformations has not yet been determined. We present a report on a short series …

Background Spinal arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) are uncommon vascular malformations of
spinal dural and epidural vessels. Actually digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is the gold …

Background Localization of the arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is a crucial step in the diagnosis
and treatment of spinal vascular malformations (VMs). Noninvasive angiographic techniques …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The detection and localization of spinal dural
arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) remain diagnostic challenges. This study tested the hypothesis …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Spinal epidural AVFs are rare spinal vascular
malformations. When there is associated intradural venous reflux, they may mimic the more …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: MR imaging and contrast-enhanced MR angiography
have been used to detect evidence of spinal dural arteriovenous fistulae (AVF); however, the …

Spinal extradural arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) may be more difficult to prospectively identify
than dural AVFs because they are less common than dural AVFs. The primary purpose was …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Different MRA techniques used to evaluate spinal dural
arteriovenous fistulas offer unique advantages and limitations with regards to temporal and …
