Abstract

Recently, thrapeutic embolization has been advocated as the treatment of choic for spinal AVM(arteriovenousmalformations). The authors review our experience with two cases of spinal AVM treated by embolization usingcoaxial Tracker -18 microcatheter with Ivalon. The patients included a 10-year-old male with glomus type anda14-year-old female with juvenile type spinal AVM revealed recanalization 5 months later. Emboliaztion providescurative or temporary treatment for spinal AVM. After embolic occlusion, delayed reassessment with arteriographyis indicated, particularly if symptoms persist or recur.
