Cervical vertebral AV fistulae are uncommon vascular lesions involving abnormal communication between the extradural vertebral artery and surrounding venous structures. We examine the case of a female evaluated in the emergency department with a vertebral AV fistula presenting classically as pulsatile tinnitus and later successfully treated with standard endovascular techniques. A discussion on the etiology, pathophysiology, and management of vertebral AV fistulae follows.
颈椎动静脉瘘是一种罕见的血管病变,涉及硬脊膜外椎动脉与周围静脉结构之间的异常连通。我们研究了一例在急诊科接受评估的女性病例,该患者患有典型表现为搏动性耳鸣的椎动脉动静脉瘘,随后通过标准血管内技术成功治疗。接下来将讨论椎动脉动静脉瘘的病因、病理生理学和治疗方法。
