Diagnosis of Spinal Metameric Arteriovenous Malformation Syndrome (Case Report)

Abstract

This paper presents a rare case of spinal arteriovenous metameric syndrome (SAVMS) with lesions localized in the lower thoracic spine with the presence of two closely spaced arteriovenous malformations intramedullary and extradural (intravertebral) localization. The possibilities of minimally invasive contrast dynamic MR-angiography (TRICKS) in the diagnosis of the main components of vascular malformations and in determining the level of their arterial blood supply have been demonstrated.
