OBJECTIVE To enhance the clinical doctors' cognizance of atypical spinal dural arteriovenous fistulae (SDAVFs) associated with perimedullary anteriovenous fistulae (PMAVFs). METHODS The clinical imaging and surgical therapy of 3 patients with PMAVFs were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS The clinical presentations of the 3 patients were not significantly different from those of typical SDAVFs. They were verified by repeated spinal angiography that the anterior spinal artery (ASA) is supplied to the drainage-vein. The 3 patients were treated surgically. First two operations were performed to eliminate the supply of ASA and dural branch, then the supply of the dural branch was amputated, and finally both the ASA and dural branch supplies were excised successfully. Clinical symptoms of the 3 patients were improved after treatment. CONCLUSIONS It is necessary to perform thorough spinal angiography in patients with SDAVFs to exclude another fistula. The key point in the treatment of such patients is successfully to terminate both the spinal feeder and dural branch feeder.

D001164 Arteriovenous Fistula An abnormal direct communication between an artery and a vein without passing through the CAPILLARIES. An A-V fistula usually leads to the formation of a dilated sac-like connection, arteriovenous aneurysm. The locations and size of the shunts determine the degree of effects on the cardiovascular functions such as BLOOD PRESSURE and HEART RATE.

D012189 Retrospective Studies Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons.
