Vascular Myelopathies - Vascular Malformations of the Spinal Cord: Presentation and Endovascular Surgical Management

Epidural Arteriovenous Malformations

Epidural AVMs are primarily epidural and drain into the epidural venous plexus or medullary veins.^{[20,33,34,35,36]} Patients present with spontaneous cervical epidural hemorrhage,^[33] radiculopathy, or subarachnoid hemorrhage.^[34] Arterial supply may be derived from the vertebral, thyrocervical, or costocervical arteries. Endovascular embolization can result in complete closure of the fistula and cure.^[36]
