Abstract
- We present a case of 44-year-old male with spontaneous right vertebral arteriovenous fistula associated with neurofibromatosis type 1. The symptom of this patient was myeloradiculopathy of which was due to compressed cervical spinal cord by enlarged epidural vein. Complete occlusion of the fistula using coils resulted in relief of the patient symptom and complete disappearance of enlarged epidural vein on follow-up MR image one month later.
