Spinal intradural arteriovenous fistula mimicking intramedullary tumor and associated with a giant intracranial aneurysm

Spinal intradural arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) are a rare type of neurovascular malformation. Many a time hemodynamic disturbs associated to these entities can cause edema with subsequent myelopathy. On MRI study, this edema can mimic an intramedullary tumor. We report a rare case of spinal intradu...
