Spinal dural arteriovenous fistula (SDAVF) is the most common vascular malformation of the
spine in adults. However, the coincidence of tethered cord syndrome, lipoma, and SDAVF …

Background Spinal arteriovenous shunts and spinal dysraphism both have a different
underlying cause, disease spectrum and developmental process; hence, these entities …

Background Spinal arteriovenous fistula (AVF) may rarely associate with spinal dysraphism,
that is, tethered spinal cord and spinal intradural lipoma. Spinal extradural angiolipoma …

Background Arteriovenous shunt below the conus medullaris (AVS-BC) is easily
misdiagnosed and mistreated due to its rarity. Achieving an anatomical cure solely through …

Background: Lumbosacral spinal lipomas and lipomyeloceles are usually identified in early
childhood. Terminology, histopathology, and diagnosis for these malformations can be …

BACKGROUND Both filum terminale arteriovenous fistulas (FTAVFs) and filum terminale
lipomas (FTLs) are rare. Because of this rarity, there is a paucity of data regarding …

Background Spinal dural arteriovenous fistula (AVF), the most common type of spinal
vascular malformation, tends to manifest as progressive myelopathy over several years …

Background Spinal vascular malformations as a group are rare, and coexistence of a spinal
arteriovenous malformation (AVM) in or around the spinal dysraphism is extremely rare. We …

ABSTRACT AIM: To compare two synthetic graft materials, TachoComb®, a fibrin sealant
composed of collagen, fibrinogen, thrombin and aprotinin and TissuDura®, a collagen …

1. Objective: The concurrence of spinal dural Arteriovenous Fistula (AVF) with spinal
dysraphism is extremely rare. This coexistence is suggestive of a causal relationship and …
