We report two unusual cases of double spinal dural arteriovenous fistulas. Both patients had signs and symptoms commonly described in this condition, but selective angiography of the spinal cord demonstrated two separate dural arteriovenous fistulas with separate venous drainage for each fistula.
A hypervascular pheochromocytoma metastasis in the sixth cervical vertebra was embolized preoperatively by an intravertebral injection of an alcoholic embolizing emulsion, when transarterial embolization was considered too dangerous because of the possibility of inadvertent embolization of the intracerebral vertebrobasilar territory.
A paravertebral presacral posttraumatic arteriovenous fistula drained through the ascending lumbar vein to the epidural plexuses and perimedullary veins. The patient did not have symptoms of myelopathy, only low-back pain and radicular hypoesthesia. The lesion was embolized with a large balloon and clinical symptoms disappeared.
