A 93-year-old female with a paraspinal arteriovenous fistula (AVF) occurred within the lumbar spinal vertebral body was assessed with time resolved three-dimensional (3D) phase-contrast MRI (4D-Flow) on 1.5 Tesla MR scanner (GE Healthcare). The 3D vector field, streamlines, and pathlines analyses demonstrated uni-directional flow from the aorta to the large vascular cavity in the lumbar vertebral body by means of the lumbar artery as well as dilated paravertebral veins as drainers, which confirmed AVF, not aortic pseudoaneurysm. The 4D-Flow also showed an added value in planned endovascular surgery concerning localization of the precise shunting point and the shunting volume quantification.

Recurrent Spinal Arteriovenous Malformations in a Patient with Cobb Syndrome.
Child Neurol Open
April 2024
Department of Neurology, NYU Langone Health, New York, NY, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Cobb syndrome is a rare condition that involves spinal vascular issues and skin lesions linked to specific areas of the body.
- A case study of a 12-year-old boy revealed his complications, including a history of spinal arteriovenous malformation (AVM) and recent symptoms like back pain and numbness.
- The report discusses treatment options, the risk of recurrence, and overall understanding of Cobb syndrome to help with early diagnosis and better patient outcomes.
Background: Spinal epidural arteriovenous fistulas (eAVFs) are rare spinal vascular malformations characterized by an abnormal connection from the paraspinal and paravertebral system to the epidural venous plexus. This contrasts with the more frequently seen spinal dural AVF, where the fistula is entirely intradural. Although endovascular repair is commonly performed for spinal eAVF, few cases require open surgical ligation.

The history of vascular anatomy of the spinal cord and spine began in the late 19th century. With recent advances in endovascular and surgical treatment of vascular lesions of the spinal cord, understanding the vascular anatomy of the spinal cord has become more important than ever. Catheter angiography is the gold standard for diagnosing vascular lesions of the spinal cord, and the vascular architecture of the spinal cord itself is relatively simple, a repetition of basic longitudinal and axial structures.

Background: Spinal arteriovenous metameric syndrome (SAMS) is a rare nonhereditary genetic vascular disorder, involving multiple layers of tissues in the same metameric level. Spontaneous regression of SAMS has never been reported in the medical literature.
Case Description: A 42-year-old woman presented with intermittent low back pain for 6 months.

Background: Spinal vascular malformations (SVMs), including arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) and arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs), are a varied group of vascular lesions that can be subclassified according to localization, vascular structure, and hemodynamics. Early intervention is necessary to halt progression of disease and minimize irreversible dysfunction. We sought to characterize initial treatment success and recurrence rates following interventional treatment of various types of SVMs.
