Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) in the spinal cord are relatively rare lesions, especially in the cervical region. Here we report a case of cervical spinal AVM with hemorrhage in a young man who developed acute quadriparesis during exercise. For spinal AVM, emergent spinal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a useful screening tool, and angiography can provide the most important diagnostic information. The emergency physician should have a high index of suspicion for diagnosis and appropriate management of this rare condition. Early diagnosis and management is essential to preserve neurologic functioning.

D008279 Magnetic Resonance Imaging Non-invasive method of demonstrating internal anatomy based on the principle that atomic nuclei in a strong magnetic field absorb pulses of radiofrequency energy and emit them as radiowaves which can be reconstructed into computerized images. The concept includes proton spin tomographic techniques.

D011782 Quadriplegia Severe or complete loss of motor function in all four limbs which may result from BRAIN DISEASES; SPINAL CORD DISEASES; PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DISEASES; NEUROMUSCULAR DISEASES; or rarely MUSCULAR DISEASES. The locked-in syndrome is characterized by quadriplegia in combination with cranial muscle paralysis. Consciousness is spared and the only retained voluntary motor activity may be limited eye movements. This condition is usually caused by a lesion in the upper BRAIN STEM which injures the descending cortico-spinal and cortico-bulbar tracts.
