“…[4][5][6][7]12 Although the literature reports a preponderance of involvement of the vertebral artery below C5, we found a greater frequency of lesions between C2 and C5 (38.8%). This finding reflects the fact that traumatic lesions tend to occur in zone II of the neck (zone II lies between the cricoid and the angle of the mandible), in concordance with results reported in a study with similar demographic characteristics compared with our patient population.…”

“…[1][2][3] These lesions can be of traumatic or spontaneous origin. [1][2][3][4][5][6] Traumatic fistulas are frequently associated with penetrating neck injuries. [7][8] Less frequent causes include puncture of the vertebral artery after gaining jugular vein access for central line placement, neck surgery, dislocations, and fractures of the cervical spine.…”

Objective: We report a rare case of neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1) presenting with myelopathy due to the vertebral arteriovenous fistula (AVF), and major intracranial artery occlusions with moyamoya-like vessels.Case Presentation: A 66-year-old woman of NF-1 suffered from neck pain, tetraparesis, and sensory disturbance of gradual onset. Cervical MRI showed a huge flow void, and the spinal cord was strongly compressed by the dilated vessels. Vertebral angiography revealed the AVF at the level of C4/5 fed by the left vertebral artery and drained into the dilated epidural spinal vein between C2 and C5 via the intervertebral veins. In addition, carotid angiography showed the occlusion of the right internal carotid artery and the left anterior cerebral artery associated with moyamoya-like vessels.She underwent endovascular treatment with careful attention to the intraoperative hypotension and the AVF was completely occluded. Her neurological symptoms were cured after the treatment. Conclusion:We experienced a rare case of NF-1 coexisted with the vertebral AVF and moyamoya syndrome. In such a complicated condition, discreet attention for possible cerebral hypoperfusion during the perioperative period should be paid for the successful treatment.

“…Some spontaneous lesions are congenital or associated with abnormal vasculature, as in fibromuscular dysplasia14 and neurofibromatosis. 15 Clinical presentation depends on location, anatomy and venous drainage of the lesion. The most common presenting symptom is a continuous bruit, often audible to the patient, followed by pulsatile tinnitus and pulsatile mass.…”

We report the use of color Doppler imaging in the diagnosis of four arteriovenous fistulas in the neck region: two had a traumatic origin and two were spontaneous. A perivascular color artifact was the most common initial finding on color images to indicate the underlying abnormality. In all four cases, a low‐resistance flow with high systolic and diastolic velocities was observed in the feeding artery. Although angiography remains essential before therapeutic embolization, color Doppler sonography may be an important tool for screening and follow‐up of cervical arteriovenous fistulas.
