  • Title: Craniocervical dural fistula associated with cervical myelopathy: angiographic demonstration of normal venous drainage of the thoracolumbar cord does not rule out diagnosis.

    Journal: AJNR Am J Neuroradiol; 1998 Mar; 19(3):583-6. PubMed ID: 9541323.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of craniocervical dural arteriovenous fistula with perimedullary venous drainage associated with cervical myelopathy in which spinal angiography showed a normal venous phase after injection of the artery of Adamkiewicz. We conclude that because of the complex venous drainage of the spinal cord, a dural arteriovenous fistula with spinal drainage cannot be ruled out solely because a normal venous phase is seen in the lower part of the cord, as has previously been suggested.
