Spinal Dural Arteriovenous Fistulas

Spinal vascular malformations are uncommon yet important spinal pathologies commonly classified in congenital and acquired lesions. Spinal lipomas consist of three subtypes: intramedullary lipomas, lipomyelo(meningo)celes and lipomas of the filum. Although the association of spinal arteriovenous malformations (AVM) with other congenital anomalies is well known, the coexistence of dural arteriovenous fistulas (AVF) and tethered spinal cord is exceptionally rare and only eight cases have been reported. We present two cases from our institution and speculate on the possible origin of such a rare but insidious association. We review the current literature with a focus on possible pitfalls in diagnosis and treatment.

Spinal Dural Arteriovenous Fistulas

Spinal dural arteriovenous fistulas are rare and often unrecognized,  they occur predominantly in men, with an initial clinical picture most often  misleading made of chronic myelopathy in the absence of treatment, the evolution is slowly towards a definitive paraplegia. We report the case of a patient referred for a table of spinal cord compression revealing a spinal dural fistula with perimedullary venous drainage treated urgently, due to the worsening of the clinical picture. The standard treatment consists of surgical or endovascular exclusion of the fistula (in our case the fistula was surgically excluded). From this case and based on the literature, we will specify the a, clinical, radiological characteristics as well as the prognosis of these malformations, and we will discuss the possibilities of therapeutic management.

Diagnosis Classification

Type I spinal dural arteriovenous fistulas are the most common vascular malformation of the spinal cord, and an important cause of reversible progressive myelopathy. This lesion remains underdiagnosed, with most patients presenting late in the course of the disease. In this article the authors provide a review of the literature with particular attention to historical aspects related to the pathophysiology, diagnosis, classification, clinical findings, natural history, and treatment of this lesion. An illustrative case is also provided.

Dural Arteriovenous Fistulas

The gold standard in dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVF) evaluation is complete angiography. Treatment options include: conservative management, open surgery, endovascular therapy, stereotactic radiosurgery or multimodality therapy. The goal of microsurgical intervention is DAVF obliteration or selective CVD disconnection. We present a 59 years old male who was brought to the Emergency Department of the National Institute of Neurology and Neurovascular Diseases in a comatose state (GCS- 5p).

Spinal Dural Arteriovenous Fistulas

Spinal dural arteriovenous fistulas are diagnostically challenging lesions, and they are not well described in patients with a history of a spinal deformity correction. The authors present the challenging case of a 74-year-old woman who had previously undergone correction of a spinal deformity with subsequent revision. Several years after the last deformity operation, she developed a progressive myelopathy with urinary incontinence over a 6-month period. After evaluation at the authors’ institution, an angiogram was obtained, demonstrating a fistula at the T12–L1 region. Surgical ligation of the fistula was performed with subsequent improvement of the neurological symptoms. This case is thought to represent the first fistula documented in an area of the spine that had previously been operated on, and to the authors’ knowledge, it is the first case report to be associated with spinal deformity surgery. A brief historical overview and review of the pathophysiology of spinal dural arteriovenous fistulas is also included.
