The authors present a 64-year-old patient with lumbar arteriovenous malformation 22´35´50 mm. Open resection under endotracheal anesthesia was carried out. Postoperative period was uneventful. The patient was discharged in 7 days after surgery. Surgical resection of lumbar AVM is preferable because this approach eliminates cosmetic defect without the risk of soft tissue necrosis. Such an invasive intervention can be performed in case of superficial afferent vessel whose ligation will reduce the risk of intraoperative bleeding.

Objective: To investigate the value of routine T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (CE-MRA) sequences in locating the fistula level of spinal arteriovenous fistula (SAVF).
Methods: Retrospectively analyzed the radiological findings of patients with SAVF diagnosed by surgery from May 2018 to September 2024. All patients completed spinal CE-MRA and routine T2-weighted MRI.

: This case study involved a 24-year-old male with an arteriovenous malformation localized in the long head of the right biceps femoris muscle, with an anterior cruciate ligament injury. The aim was to assess the effects of a five-week kinesiological protocol, which included global postural re-education and strengthening exercises focused on knee stabilization. The effectiveness of the therapeutic intervention was evaluated using Gait Analysis, clinical examination, and the SF-36 questionnaire to assess the patient's quality of life.

: Binocular optical microscopy (OM) paved the way for a new era in brain and spine neurosurgery fields with the introduction of microsurgery. Despite its enormous contribution to modern neurosurgery, OM presents some intrinsic limitations that surgeons need to face during procedures such as prolonged non-ergonomic positions and decreased vision quality to the assistant eyepiece. To overcome these limitations, in recent years, new operative tools have been introduced, such as exoscopes.

Spinal dural arteriovenous fistulas (dAVFs) are a rare type of spinal lesion that can cause severe clinical consequences. Early and accurate diagnosis and treatment are crucial to avoid severe complications such as radicular pain, weakness, sensory deficits, and loss of bowel and bladder control. Spinal dAVFs are commonly found in the lower thoracic or upper lumbar vertebrae.
