Spinal dural arteriovenous fistulas (SDAVFs) may have subtle clinical presentations and are often misdiagnosed. Clinical status gradually deteriorates following symptom onset making prompt identification and management essential. Here we present a case of a 67-year-old patient with rapidly progressing motor and sensory deficits to eventual right hemiplegia. Following imaging and surgical intervention, a thoracic SDAVF was identified and resected. This case report highlights a unique SDAVF with a stroke-like presentation. For patients with such presentation, without a clear source of intracranial pathology, spinal causes such as SDAVF could be considered.
