| ABSTRACT |
|
The authors report a case of spinal dural arteriovenous fistula (SDAVF) that is supplied by a lateral sacral artery.
A 73-year-old male presented with gait disturbance that had developed 3 years ago. Spinal magnetic resonance imaging suggested a possible SDAVF. Selective spinal angiography including the vertebral arteries and pelvic vessels showed the SDAVF fed by left lateral sacral artery. The patient was subsequently treated with glue embolization. Three days after the embolization procedure, his gait disturbance was much improved. |
