The MR findings in three patients with intracranial dural arteriovenous fistula associated with cervical myelopathy are described. The MR appearance of an enlarged cord with associated abnormal signal and enhancement is nonspecific and can simulate tumor, demyelination, and inflammation. Enlarged perimedullary vessels may not always be identifiable, but if present, should suggest the presence of an arteriovenous fistula.
本文描述了3例颅内硬脑膜动静脉瘘合并颈髓病患者的磁共振成像(MR)表现。脊髓增粗并伴有异常信号及强化的MR表现并无特异性,可类似肿瘤、脱髓鞘病变及炎症。髓周血管增粗并非总能被识别,但如果存在,则提示动静脉瘘的存在。
