Popis: Clinical signs and symptoms of spinal arteriovenous malformation (AVM) have different characteristics according to the type of the AVM. Various classifications have been proposed for this complex lesion [1–3]; we use our own modified classification just to simplify our work-up discussion. We divide the spinal arteriovenous (AV) malformations by their fistula or nidus locations into dural, perimedullary, and intramedullary type and by fistulas or true malformations. Authors identify the dural AV fistulas (dAVF) (Fig. 28.1), perimedullary AV fistulas (AVF) (Fig. 28.2), and spinal cord true AV malformation (AVM) that is either juvenile-type AVM or glomus-type AVM.
