“…Experience with craniofacial AVM shows a high success rate is obtaining satisfactory devascularization prior to surgery thereby reducing operation time and blood transfusion [20,21]. AVMs in certain inoperable sites offer good palliation and arrest the progress of the disease following embolization (Fig 3).…”

Controlled alkaline hydrolysis of crosslinked poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) microspheres produced highly hydrophilic, smooth, compressible, nearly perfect microspheres having a range of water content 40-95%. These particles were found to possess many desirable properties as a material for therapeutic embolization. After successful toxicological and animal evaluation, these particles were used to treat various ailments such as arteriovenous malformations (AVM) of the brain, spinal cord, limbs, face and trunks, preoperative devascularization of tumours and in the management of severe life-threatening haemoptysis and haematemesis in clinical trials involving over 90 patients at this Institute. The results of these studies appeared to be very encouraging. The material is found to be an ideal embolic agent in all these clinical situations.

“…Surgery has been the traditional mode of therapy for cervical arteriovenous fistulas [3,4,5,10,12]. The problems of surgical treatment, i.e., intraoperative hemorrhage, incomplete closure of the fistula, and the generally difficult access to the upper cervical region, are well known.…”

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.
