Spinal AVMs consist of various congenital and acquired vascular diseases which may result in spinal neurological deficit. The anigoarchitecture of these diseases are often difficult to analyze while the risk of treatment is high due to the eloquence of the spinal cord. Recently, the understanding of the anatomy of the spinal vessels, the characteristics of the spinal vascular diseases, and the efficacy of endovascular management has grown. The purpose of this review is to introduce the latest understanding of these diseases and its management strategies.

Spontaneous hematomyelia is an acute expanding lesion by the hemorrhage within the substance of the located primarily in the gray matter. It is necessary to have urgent operation to preserve the remainding cord function. We are reporting a rare case of spontaneous hematomyelia extending from T-8 to T-10 of unknown cause of which transverse symptoms have largely subsided after surgical evacuation of the liquefied hematoma.

This is a report of 23 year old soldier who developed sudden onset of flaccid paraplegia and loss of all sensory modalited below the level of T4. The clinical entities of hematomyelia were sudden onset of pain, repidly developing pyramidal signs and paraplegia. The mainly involving sites of this disease were cervical and thoracic regions. The causative factors were hemorrhagic diasthesis, vascular malformation and inflammatory process as well as trauma and neoplasms affecting the spinal cord. We experienced a case of hematomyelia which did not combine with vascular anomaly, inflammatory process, hemophilia or trauma history.

The spinal dural arteriovenous fistula (SDAVF) is rare, presenting with progressive, insidious symptoms, and inducing spinal cord ischemia and myelopathy, resulting in severe neurological deficits. If physicians have accurate and enough information about vascular anatomy and hemodynamics, they achieve the good results though the surgery or endovascular embolization. However, when selective spinal angiography is unsuccessful due to neurological deficits, surgery and endovascular embolization might be failed because of inadequate information. We describe a patient with a history of vasospasm during spinal angiography, who was successfully treated by spinal stereotactic radiosurgery using Novalis system.

Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome (KTS) is a rare congenital malformation syndrome involving blood and lymph vessels, which is characterized by triad of cutaneous hemangioma, venous varicosities, and overgrowth of the affected limbs. Because vascular malformation in KTS can be located anywhere except the face and brain, the clinical presentation could be extremely variable. But there are only rare case reports that KTS is associated with spinal cord lesion. We report a case of recurrent myelopathy in a patient with KTS.

The spontaneous hematomyelia is an uncommon event and its predisposing conditions are vascular malformation, syringomyelia, pregnancy and delivery, angioma, hemophilia, anticoagulant therapy, etc. We have recently experienced the patient with spontaneous onset and resolving hematomyelia in the cervical spinal cord. A 30-year-old male patient with non-traumatic spinal shock was evaluated. On MRI, a hematomyelia along cervical spi-nal cord was revealed. A suspicious AV malformation was noticed at C3-4 level. Fol-low-up MRIs showed spontaneous resolution of the hematoma.

A spinal arteriovenous fistula is a rare vascular disease that is characterized by abnormal connections between the vertebral artery or its branches and the neighboring veins. Bruit and back pain are common symptoms related to the fistula. Spinal cord dysfunction can also occur as a result of blood flow steal, venous hypertension, or mechanical compression of the nerve roots and spinal cord. We report a huge arteriovenous fistula in the spinal canal at the thoracic vertebra, which was characterized by a large azygous vein connected to the epidural vein causing osteolysis on the vertebral body and spinal cord compression symptoms. Staged embolization was performed using 80 coils.
