Abstract A case of neurogenic pulmonary edema (NPE) associated with a ruptured spinal cord arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is presented. The mechanisms involved in the development of NPE are discussed briefly. The possible role of preganglionic sympathetic fibers in the spinal cord in the etiology of NPE is suggested.

✓ A 2-day-old neonate with a spinal cord arteriovenous malformation developed severe paraparesis. The abrupt neurological deterioration was not associated with hemorrhage or aneurysmal dilatation. Ischemic damage of the spinal cord is suggested as the cause of the clinical manifestation.

We report on the case of a huge varix that developed after the endovascular embolization of a cerebellar arteriovenous malformation (AVM) with a single drainer. A 21-year-old male presented with trigeminal neuralgia which was caused by the dilated drainer of the AVM. A varix was found at the basal vein of Rosenthal 2 months after an initial stage of embolization with polyvinyl alcohol particles; it diminished after the surgical extirpation of the AVM The varix formation might have been facilitated by the stenosis in the vein of Galen and by the dynamic changes that followed the embolization This rare complication should be kept in mind when embolization is performed for AVMs with impaired venous outlets

The authors describe 4 cases of syringomyelia-associated spinal cord arteriovenous malformation (AVM). All cases were managed with embolization of the AVM. Treatments were aimed to stabilize the AVM itself and not directed toward the syrinx. In 3 of the 4 cases the syringomyelia resolved after treatment. Reports concerning AVM as a cause of syringomyelia is very scarce and lacks posttreatment clinical information. In light of the clinical course and imaging findings, the authors propose a theory that venous hypertension in the spinal cord is the trigger for the development of syringomyelia, which may reverse after AVM treatment.
