Abstract

Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) occurring within the craniocervical junction (CCJ) is an uncommon vascular anomaly. A 56-year-old man presented with cervical pain and gait disturbances. Computed tomography revealed a hematoma in the epidural space at the cervical spinal level. Subsequent cerebral angiography revealed an epidural shunt at the CCJ, leading to a diagnosis of epidural AVF (EDAVF). Transvenous embolization, performed under general anesthesia, successfully resolved the shunt. Transarterial embolization of CCJ-EDAVFs carries a substantial risk of ischemic complications. Conversely, transvenous embolization poses a lower risk of ischemic complications and has potential as a beneficial treatment option for CCJ-EDAVFs. Herein, we present a unique case of CCJ-EDAVF that was successfully treated with transvenous embolization

一例通过经静脉栓塞成功治疗的颅颈交界处硬脑膜动静脉瘘病例

发生在颅颈交界处（CCJ）的动静脉瘘（AVF）是一种不常见的血管畸形。一名 56 岁的男子因颈椎疼痛和步态障碍前来就诊。计算机断层扫描显示颈椎硬膜外腔有血肿。随后的脑血管造影显示，CCJ 处有硬膜外分流，诊断为硬膜外动静脉瘘（EDAVF）。在全身麻醉下进行的经静脉栓塞成功解决了分流问题。经动脉栓塞治疗 CCJ-EDAVF 有很大的缺血性并发症风险。相反，经静脉栓塞治疗缺血性并发症的风险较低，有可能成为治疗 CCJ-EDAVF 的有利选择。在此，我们介绍一例独特的 CCJ-EDAVF 病例，该病例通过经静脉栓塞治疗获得成功
