  • Title: Acute flank pain, an unusual first symptom of a spinal arteriovenous malformation.
    Author: Ohkoshi N, Ishii A, Shoji S.
    Journal: J Clin Neurosci; 2004 Jun; 11(5):566-7. PubMed ID: 15177416.
    Abstract:
    This case report describes a 46-year-old man whose first symptom was an attack of acute flank pain, followed by the gradual onset neurological symptoms. We demonstrated a small nidus and serpentine signal-void area in the spinal cord by MRI and diagnosed a glomus type of spinal arteriovenous malformation (AVM). Flank pain is a rare initial finding in an adult with spinal AVM. In cases with acute flank pain, neurologists should consider spinal AVM as a differential diagnosis.
