Vascular malformation of the spinal cord in children is a rare and complicated disease spectrum. We will start from the basic spinal cord vascular anatomy and the controversial classification of this kind of disease. Then, we will elaborate the clinical manifestations, diagnostic imaging and treatment of pediatric spinal vascular malformations based on the practical experience of our center and from literature.

Spinal dural arteriovenous fistulas (SDAVF) are the most common vascular malformations affecting the spinal cord. It is infrequently encountered in clinical practice and is believed to be acquired, predominantly affecting middle-aged and elderly men with unknown etiology. It is usually misdiagnosed despite presenting with conventional clinical findings and radiological features.

Understanding normal spinal arterial and venous anatomy, and spinal vascular disease, is impossible without flow-based methods. Development of practical spinal angiography led to site-specific categorization of spinal vascular conditions, defined by the 'seat of disease' in relation to the cord and its covers. This enabled identification of targets for highly successful surgical and endovascular treatments, and guided interpretation of later cross-sectional imaging.

Accounting for 70% of all spinal vascular malformations, spinal dural arteriovenous fistulas (SDAVF) are the most common type of malformation. Interruption of the fistulous arterialized vein point is the goal of surgical treatment. The aim of the study was to compare open surgery (laminectomy) versus minimal invasive surgery (MIS) in SDAVF treatment.

Two neighboring spinal dural arteriovenous fistulas (SDAVFs) with multiple bridging veins drainage are extremely rare. Here, we report a 55-year-old man with 2 neighboring SDAVFs at the levels of T4-T5 supplied by the right T5 intercostal artery (common stem of T4 and T5 arteries) with multiple draining veins. Intraoperatively, 3 draining bridging veins between T4 and T5 nerve roots were identified and resected successfully.

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.

Dural arteriovenous fistulas (dAVFs) are vascular malformations of the central nervous system that feature an arteriovenous shunt fed by dural arteries and can be intracranial or spinal. Spinal dAVFs are classically found at the nerve root sleeve. The arterial supply can often be predicted by the fistula location, whereas the symptomatology and risk of hemorrhage is determined by the venous drainage pattern.

Background: Dural arteriovenous fistulas at the craniocervical junction (CCJ DAVFs) are a rare vascular disease. Endovascular treatment (EVT) and microsurgery are the primary treatment modalities for CCJ DAVFs. However, incomplete treatment or complications may occur after treatment because of the anatomical complexity.

Background: Spinal cavernous vascular malformation (SCM) is a rare type of spinal vascular malformation that can be easily misdiagnosed and overlooked, accounting for 5%-12% of all spinal vascular malformations. To date, surgical resection has been the gold standard for treating SCM, particularly in symptomatic patients. The risk of secondary hemorrhage in SCM is as high as 66%.

Background: Intracranial dural arterio-venous fistulas are pathological anastomoses between arteries and veins located within dural sheets and whose clinical manifestations depend on location and hemodynamic features. They can sometimes display perimedullary venous drainage (Cognard type V fistulas-CVFs) and present as a progressive myelopathy. Our review aims at describing CVFs' variety of clinical presentation, investigating a possible association between diagnostic delay and outcome and assessing whether there is a correlation between clinical and/or radiological signs and clinical outcomes.

Arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) at the craniocervical junction (CCJ) are uncommon conditions with complex angioarchitecture. The objective of this study was to identify the angioarchitectural features of CCJ-AVF that were predictive of clinical presentation and neurological function. The study encompassed a total of 68 consecutive patients with CCJ-AVF at two neurosurgical centers between 2014 and 2022.

Background: Little data exist regarding sex differences in cavernous malformations (CM) patients.
Methods: From an ongoing, prospective registry of consenting adults with CM, we assessed the differences between male and female patients in regard to age at presentation, type of presentation, radiologic characteristics and prospective, symptomatic hemorrhage and or focal neurologic deficit (FND) risk and functional outcome. Cox proportional-hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals with P values < 0.

Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) are common vascular anomaly diseases in the central nervous system associated with seizures, cerebral microbleeds, or asymptomatic mostly. CCMs can be classified as sporadic or familial, with familial cerebral cavernous malformations (fCCMs) being the autosomal dominant manner with incomplete penetrance. Germline mutations of KRIT1, CCM2, and PDCD10 are associated with the pathogenesis of fCCMs.
