Article Synopsis
- * The patient's symptoms evolved over three months, leading to significant neurological issues, and became evident through imaging and angiography, which ultimately identified the DAVF.
- * Following surgical intervention, which successfully removed the fistula, the patient experienced a complete resolution of symptoms and regained full motor function, underscoring the importance of recognizing atypical presentations of DAVFs.
Primary spinal intradural extramedullary lymphoma remains a very rare entity in spinal oncology. In this case report, we present the first treatment of a PSIEL diagnosed by cytopathologic analysis alone followed by urgent radio- and chemotherapy in the literature. At 18-month follow-up, our patient was ambulatory with near total imaging resolution of the lesion.

Evidence from experimental models of ADPKD suggests that elevated endothelin-1 (ET-1) drives cyst growth, renal fibrosis and loss of renal function, but whether ET-1 is elevated in humans with ADPKD is uncertain.
Methods: In a cross-sectional study of ADPKD we measured urinary ET-1, a surrogate for ET-1 in kidney cortex, in spot collections corrected for creatinine.
