Cervical Myelopathy Caused by Intracranial Dural Arteriovenous Fistula with Acute Worsening After Steroid Administration.

World Neurosurgery 2018 December
Intracranial dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) draining into the perimedullary venous system are rare and potentially life-threatening lesions often presenting as a myelopathy. The early and proper diagnosis of this rare disease is challenging because the symptoms are nonspecific.
