Abstract:
Juvenile spinal AVM consists of an abnormal tangle of vessels fills the spinal cord at involved levels. Contains neural parenchyma within the nidus of the AVM and is fed by mult ple medullary arteries. We report a case of juvenile spinal AVM treated with conventional radiation therapy instead of embolization or surgery because of its location(from C-2 to C-7) and multiple feeding arteries.
