Abstract:
Six spinal cord AVMs underwent intravascular embolization in our hospital between January 1993 and August 1994 were reported.All cases diagnosed by selective digital substract angiography.There were one cervical two thoracic intramedullar AVMs,and three lumbodorsal intradural perimedullary AVFs,Five cases received complete occlusion and one intramedullary AVM was partially embolized.Three perimedullary AVFs recovered markedly and partial improvement was also seen in three intramedullary AVMs during the follow-up period from 2 to 20 months.We concluded that intravascular embolization therapy is an alternative and effective manner in treating intramedullary AVM and type Ⅱ type Ⅲ perimedullary AVF.
