- Abstract
- Spinal arteriovenous malformation ( AVM ) can be a rare cause of relapsing myelopathy. We recently have the opportunity to study a 20-year-old male patient having spinal epidural AVM confirmed by surgical biopsy. To our knowledge, a case of relapsing and remitting course of spinal epidural AVM has not been reported in Korea.
A 20-year-old male was admitted because of sudden paraparesis and
disturbance of all sensory modalities below the T5 dermatome, 5 times
during 2 years. Cerebrospinal fluid profiles did not reveal any pathologic
findings. Until the 4th attack, MR findings were non diagnostic. At the
5th attack, thoracic spine MR revealed epidural hematoma compressing
the spinal cord. Diagnostic and therapeutic decompressive surgical
procedure was done. On surgical field, solitary and tortuous feeding
vessels with hematoma were seen in epidural space. Microscopically, the
tissue was compatible with arteriovenous malformation.
