  • Title: Rupture of a cervical spinal cord arteriovenous malformation: a rare complication of endovascular embolization.
    Author: Defreyne L, Achten E, Vandekerckhove T, Kunnen M.
    Journal: Eur Radiol; 1999; 9(4):734-7. PubMed ID: 10354897.
    Abstract:
    Patients suffering from a cervical spinal cord arteriovenous malformation (SCAVM) run high risk of devastating subarachnoid hemorrhage and hematomyelia. Therefore, cervical SCAVMs represent a compelling indication for surgical or endovascular therapy. The authors report on an acute life-threatening subarachnoid hemorrhage from a cervical SCAVM that ruptured during an embolization procedure. Causality and therapeutic management are discussed.
