spinal dural Arteriovenous Fistula
Current Opinion in Neurology, 2006Co-Authors: Christoph KochAbstract:Purpose of reviewTo summarize clinical key points, diagnostic features, and results of imaging and therapy of spinal dural Arteriovenous Fistula (SDAVF).Recent findingsSDAVF accounts for 70% of spinal Arteriovenous malformation with an annual incidence of 5–10 cases per million. At least 80% of pati

Traumatic Arteriovenous Fistula
The Annals of thoracic surgery, 1997Co-Authors: Fracs Samir M Maher, Frcsi Husein M.m Rabee, Ffracsi Mohammed S Takrouri, Frcsc Mussaad M.s Al-salmanAbstract:Traumatic Arteriovenous Fistula in the head and neck may present a difficult problem in management. We present a surgical case of traumatic Arteriovenous Fistula between the right subclavian artery and internal jugular vein with false aneurysm formation. Traumatic injury of the subclavian artery causing Arteriovenous Fistula with false aneurysm is a serious surgical emergency with appreciable morbidity and mortality that requires early recognition and prompt surgical intervention.

Concomitant Lumbosacral Perimedullary Arteriovenous Fistula and Spinal Dural Arteriovenous Fistula
WORLD NEUROSURGERY, 2017Co-Authors: Li Jingwei, Li Guilin, Bian Lisong, Hong Tao, Yu Jiaxing, Zhang Hongqi, Ling FengAbstract:BACKGROUND: Although multifocal spinal Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) have been reported before, the present case is the first case of 2 different types, including 1 perimedullary Arteriovenous Fistula and 2 spinal dural Arteriovenous Fistulas of lumbosacral AVMs, coexisting in 1 patient. We also report the use of hybrid techniques in treatment of concomitant lumbosacral spinal AVMs. CASE DESCRIPTION: A 65-year-old man presented with a 4-year history of progressive sensory, motor, and sphincter dysfunction. Spinal magnetic resonance imaging and digital subtraction angiography showed 2 spinal dural Arteriovenous Fistulas (fed by the right L2 lumbar artery and the right lateral sacral artery, respectively) and 1 perimedullary Arteriovenous Fistula (fed by the filum terminale artery from the left L2 lumbar artery [i.e., filum terminale Arteriovenous Fistulas]. A hybrid technique was used to perform embolization of the right L2 spinal dural Arteriovenous Fistula and microsurgery of the L5 level filum terminale vein. The patient was asymptomatic 1 year later. CONCLUSIONS: Multifocal spinal vascular malformations may coexist in 1 case, and standardized spinal digital subtraction angiography, including the bilateral internal iliac arteries and median sacral artery, should be performed to avoid a missed diagnosis. The concomitant phenomenon indicates that venous hypertension may be a risk factor for the development of Arteriovenous Fistulas. Hybrid techniques are effective in treatment of multifocal and complex spinal AVMs.SCI(E)ARTICLE10

rendu osler weber syndrome presenting with pulmonary Arteriovenous Fistula
Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology, 2005Co-Authors: A M HalefogluAbstract:Summary A pulmonary Arteriovenous Fistula is an abnormal connection between pulmonary arteries and veins. Patients with Rendu–Osler–Weber syndrome may present with this vascular malformation, which is a typical finding of the disease. Approximately 5–15% of Rendu–Osler–Weber syndrome patients have pulmonary Arteriovenous malformations (AVM) and there is usually a family history of AVM in these patients. The malformations are usually located in the lower lobes. In this paper, I describe a 49-year-old male patient with dyspnoea, cough, haemoptysis and epistaxis. Physical examination showed nasal telangiectasias, cyanosis of the lips and nails, and a systolic bruit over the left lung. Chest X-ray revealed a 5-cm mass in the left lower lobe and after magnetic resonance examination, together with 3-D magnetic resonance angiography, it was demonstrated to be a pulmonary Arteriovenous Fistula. The history of a niece with a similiar history of suspected pulmonary Arteriovenous Fistula led me to consider the possibility of Rendu–Osler–Weber syndrome presenting with a pulmonary Arteriovenous Fistula.
