We describe a 24-year-old woman who presented with twice previously unverified subarachnoid hemorrhages from the conus medullaris spinal arteriovenous malformation with Parkes-Weber-syndrome. Spinal MRI examination is considered to be necessary for the diagnosis of Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome. For diagnosis of the spinal cord arteriovenous malformation, it is indispensable to search carefully for the presence of accompanying lesions. Transarterial glue embolization is effective for the management of the spinal vascular lesion.

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.

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.

The Polish neurologist Łucja Frey (1889–1942) is principally remembered for her description of the auriculotemporal nerve (or Frey's) syndrome. She also reported a complex case of spinal cord vascular malformation in 1928, which included one of the earliest accurate anatomopathological depictions of a spinal arteriovenous malformation as well as the first known observation of double synchronous spinal cord vascular malformation. An abbreviated translation of Frey's report is followed by a discussion of the place occupied by her contribution in the development of our current understanding of spinovascular disorders.

✓ The authors report the case of a patient with subarachnoid hemorrhage in whom an intracranial dural arteriovenous malformation coexisted with a spinal arteriovenous malformation. The latter was considered to be the source of the hemorrhage by clinical and radiographic criteria. It is concluded that patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage who show no suitable intracranial source for their bleed in some instances should be investigated for a spinal origin of hemorrhage.
