Magnetic resonance imaging: failure to demonstrate spinal arteriovenous malformations in four patients.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), often useful for detecting spinal lesions, was unsuccessful in revealing spinal arteriovenous malformations in four patients, as recorded here. Patients with persistent neurological symptoms after "normal" MRI scans should undergo additional imaging procedures.
