Cervical dural arteriovenous fistula
A report of an asymptomatic cervical dural arteriovenous fistula in a patient with Lhermitte-Duclos disease was published in 2006. Almubarak et al. from Riyadh, presented in 2018 the second case of Lhermitte-Duclos disease associated with an asymptomatic spinal cervical AVF in a 17-year-old young woman with literature review of central nervous system vascular lesions in Lhermitte-Duclos disease 1).
A 61-year-old male presented with shortness of breath and chest pain. Workup for acute myocardial infarction was negative; however, computed tomography angiography visualized what a vascular malformation within the cervical spinal canal. Given the patient's history of Servelle-Martorell syndrome, neurovascular imaging was performed.
Garg et al. present the unique vascular findings of a right thyrocervical trunk-based dural arteriovenous malformation (dAVM) and a large epidural venous varix. The cervical dAVM induced intervertebral foraminal widening and polyradiculopathy, representing a rare adult case of congenital vascular bone syndrome 2).
