Abstract
Spinal vascular malformations consist of dural arteriovenous (AV) fistulae, spinal cord arteriovenous malformation, and juxtamedullary (perimedullary) arteriovenous fistula. Intramedullary cavernous hemangioma is also a type of congenital spinal vascular malformation. Spinal vascular malformations can be differentiated into true congenital lesions and acquired lesions, the latter being the dural arteriovenous (AV) fistulae, whereas arteriovenous malformations (AVM) and cavernous hemangiomas belong to the congenital lesions of the spine.
