● We believe the use of high field significantly improves the quality of MRA, particularly
because of the size of the vessels. 2, 3● The use of contrast medium with vascular remnant …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The diagnosis of spinal vascular malformations may be
challenging on conventional MR imaging because neither the location of the signal …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The early diagnosis of spinal vascular malformations
suffers from the nonspecificity of their clinical and radiologic presentations. Spinal …

On conventional (non-contrast-enhanced) MR imaging signs of increased signal intensity in
the central cord and enlarged subarachnoid flow voids are suggestive for the presence of a …

Preliminary experience with phase‐contrast magnetic resonance (MR) angiography at 0.5 T
applied in 12 cases of vascular malformations of the spinal cord is reported. There were six …

Contrast-enhanced MR angiography (MRA) has been increasingly used in the evaluation of
spinal vascular malformations. Even though MR spinal angiography has several advantages …

Spinal vascular disease encompasses a spectrum of lesions for which MR imaging findings
may vary from subtle or nonspecific (dural arteriovenous fistula, arterial ischemia) to obvious …

For benign spinal lesions, surgery represents the first option to alleviate neurological deficits
and intractable pain. Nevertheless, recurrence is common after surgery. Furthermore, there …

The management of spinal vascular malformations (SVM) has improved over the last four
decades with the evolution of imaging, anesthesia, microsurgery, and endovascular …

We read with interest the case report of Clarot et al (1) regarding a patient with intracranial
hypotension (IH) after lumbar puncture who had giant cervical epidural veins as the sole MR …
