  • Title: [A case of cervical dural arteriovenous malformation showing the dumbbell type growth].
    Author: Yamada H, Muramatsu S, Nishizawa M, Yoshida M.
    Journal: Rinsho Shinkeigaku; 1991 Sep; 31(9):1039-42. PubMed ID: 1769156.
    Abstract:
    A rare case with cervical dural arteriovenous malformation was reported. A 46-year-old female was admitted to our hospital because of progressive gait disturbance. Neurological examination revealed muscle weakness and sensory disturbance in the upper and lower limbs. Cervical X-ray showed destruction of the C5 vertebral body an enlarged C5-6 intervertebral foramen. Cervical CT showed a dumbbell type lesion resembling spinal tumor. On MRI, a signal area was observed posterior to the C5 spine on T1 and T2 weighted images. Myelography showed worm-like appearance. Selective spinal angiography revealed dural arteriovenous malformation fed by bilateral radicular arteries, thyrocervical and costocervical trunks. The authors emphasize significance of dural arteriovenous malformation as a cause of tumor-like lesions.
