Abstract

Abstract:

Spinal dural arteriovenous fistula (SDAVF) is a rare heterogeneous spinal vascular malformation. Due to its insidious onset and low specificity of initial symptoms, delayed diagnosis often occurs, resulting in poor prognosis. At present, the treatment methods are mainly conservative treatment, surgical treatment and vascular interventional therapy. With the progress of medical technology, the success rate of one-stage treatment has been paid more and more attention by surgeons. Combined with the application of composite operating room, comprehensive treatment methods play an increasingly important role in reducing the failure rate of one-stage treatment, increasing the success rate of treatment and improving the prognosis of patients. This article reviews the latest progress in the diagnosis and treatment of SDAVF, in order to better guide the treatment of neurosurgeons.

Key words: Spinal dural arteriovenous fistulas, Type 1 spinal arteriovenous malformations, Hybrid operation, Clinical prognosis
