    Author: Abdelsadg M, Kanodia AK, Keston P, Galea J.
    Journal: BMJ Case Rep; 2016 Apr 27; 2016():. PubMed ID: 27122105.
    Abstract:
    We present a case of intracranial arteriovenous fistula with perimedullary venous drainage presenting with acute myelopathy, which is an unusual presentation of this uncommon condition. Subsequent catheter angiogram defined the arterial feeders from the meningohypophyseal trunk and petrosal branch of the middle meningeal artery. The patient was successfully embolised, resulting in complete obliteration of the fistula, and significant resolution of brainstem and cervical cord changes along with clinical improvement.
