Non-invasive characterization of a perimedullary dural arteriovenous fistula with dynamic 320-slice CT angiography

Abstract

Spinal vascular malformations are rare but complex entities. Non-invasive assessment and screening can be effectively performed with MRI/MRA. More recently, use of spinal CTA for characterization of these lesions is being reported. We describe, to our knowledge, the first report of dynamic assessment of a spinal vascular malformation with CT angiography of the spine using 320 detector imaging technique.
