Vertebral arteriovenous fistula presenting as cervical myelopathy: a rapid recovery with balloon embolization

Manish Modi et al. Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol. 2010 Dec.

Abstract

A 24-year-old male presented with progressive cervical myelopathy of 2 months' duration. Magnetic resonance imaging of the cervical spine and angiography revealed a large arteriovenous fistula arising from the left vertebral artery. The present case highlights the clinical features and dramatic recovery following endovascular balloon occlusion of a giant cervical arteriovenous fistula.
