Abstract A newborn with paraplegia and evidence of a subarachnoid hemorrhage was found to have a spinal arteriovenous malformation. The arteriovenous malformation was managed by direct surgical obliteration. This patient is the youngest ever reported to have this disorder and the youngest so treated.

Perimedullary spinal AVM is a rare type of spinal arteriovenous malformations. We present a case of 70 yrs female who presented with motor weakness in her bilateral limbs. Initial MRI was misinterpreted as ependymal myxoma; however, histopathology revealed spinal AVM. MRA or DSA should be conducted if AVM is suspected.

Abstract The association of two aneurysms on the distal posteroinferior cerebellar artery with an arteriovenous malformation fed by the same artery is reported. A one-stage operation was performed. The other cases in the literature are analyzed with particular regard to the origin of the subarachnoid hemorrhage and the location of the aneurysms.

✓ 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.
