Case Report: We report the case of a nine-year-old child with a cervical medullary arteriovenous malformation (AVM), revealed by total paraplegia, whose regression started during steroid therapy, before embolization.
Conclusion: The frequency of AVM's spontaneous favorable outcome is unknown but should not be underestimated. It might be improved by steroids.

Background: Craniocervical junction (CCJ) dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) represent a rare yet critical vascular anomaly that may result in significant neurological impairments.
Method: We report the case of a 52-year-old male with a history of medullary hemorrhage who underwent surgical intervention for a left CCJ DAVF. Through comprehensive surgical planning and meticulous intraoperative monitoring, multiple feeders of the DAVF were safely coagulated and transected, with successful DAVF obliteration confirmed by intraoperative angiography.

Background: Arteriovenous malformation (AVM) and developmental venous anomaly (DVA) rarely coexist. Developing a surgical strategy to treat this co-occurrence is difficult due to the unclear pathogenesis. We report the use of super-selective digital subtraction angiography (DSA) and Three-dimensional (3D) rotational digital subtraction venography (DSV) to develop a surgical strategy for complex AVM draining into a DVA.

Objective: We describe two cases of myelopathy onset due to intracranial dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) and present a literature review.
Case Presentation: (Case 1) A 44-year-old man with subacute onset myelopathy underwent an MRI and DSA. MRI showed T2-hyperintensity from the medulla oblongata to the cervical spinal cord with vascular flow voids, suggestive of a spinal DAVF.
