| Abstract: |
While a craniocervical junction (CCJ) epidural arteriovenous fistula (EDAVF) may present with hemorrhagic myelopathy from an associated feeder aneurysm on rare occasions, non-hemorrhagic myelopathy from such an aneurysm remains unreported. A woman in her late sixties presented with cervical myelopathy due to a non-hemorrhagic intramedullary aneurysm associated with CCJ-EDAVF. The intramedullary aneurysm originated from the spinal pial artery supplied by the anterior spinal artery. Direct surgical fistula coagulation and feeder obliteration resulted in the disappearance of the aneurysm and myelopathy improvement. This report illustrates the first case of a non-hemorrhagic intramedullary aneurysm associated with CCJ-EDAVF successfully treated with direct surgery. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
