Vertebral artery arteriovenous fistula (VAVF) is mostly known as a post-traumatic and/or iatrogenic arteriovenous complication. However, spontaneous high-flow VAVF associated with flow reversal in the basilar artery has not been reported in children. We describe a unique asymptomatic presentation of a spontaneous high-flow VAVF associated with flow reversal in the basilar artery in a pediatric patient. The literature for classification, pathophysiology, treatment strategies, and post-procedural complications is also reviewed.
椎动脉动静脉瘘(VAVF)大多被认为是一种创伤后和/或医源性动静脉并发症。然而,儿童中尚未报道过与基底动脉血流逆转相关的自发性高流量VAVF。我们描述了一名儿科患者中与基底动脉血流逆转相关的自发性高流量VAVF的独特无症状表现。同时也对其分类、病理生理学、治疗策略及术后并发症的相关文献进行了综述。
