Abstract

SUMMARY


Purpose: The imaging characteristics and the results of spinal arteriovenous shunt treated by endovascular intervention using the n-BCA glue
Material and Methods: Descriptive and intervention study, patients were diagnosed and treated by endovascular intervention at the Bach Mai hospital from 2012 to 2016. Imaging features were evaluated on MRI and
DSA, evaluated of effectiveness of treatment based on the comparison of clinical symtoms, MRI imaging before and after endovascular treatment.
Result: Diagnosis and endovascular intervention of 21 patients. On MRI, the sign of spinal cord edema and dilated venous drainage were spotted in almost patients. The rate of complete angiographic obliteration
was 61,9% patients and partial in 38,1% patients. After follow up of 3-6 months, spinal cord damage reduce accounted 90,5% and 9,5% patients remain unchanged, clinically significance improvement was achieved in
80,9% patients,19,1% patients do not improve.
Conclusion: MRI plays an important role in the diagnosis and follow up patients with spinal arteriovenous shunt, DSA is the gold standard for diagnosis and to allow intervention treatment with high effective.
