  • Title: Venous congestive myelopathy in spinal dural arteriovenous fistula mimicking neoplasia.
    Author: Roccatagliata L, Centanaro F, Castellan L.
    Journal: Neurol Sci; 2007 Aug; 28(4):212-5. PubMed ID: 17690855.
    Abstract:
    Spinal dural arteriovenous fistulas (SDAVF) are the most common acquired arteriovenous shunts that occur in adults. By increasing venous pressure in the spinal venous system they are a cause of venous congestive myelopathy. We report the case of a patient with a SDAVF mimicking, on magnetic resonance imaging, the presence of a spinal cord tumour due to an unusual pattern of enhancement after gadolinium administration.
