title: [Magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis of an intraspinal arteriovenous malformation in a child].
abstract: A case of arteriovenous malformation of the spinal canal in a 8 year-old girl is reported. This child complained of night abdominal pain for several months, without diagnosis. Plain X-ray showed an enlargement of the lumbar spinal canal. Magnetic resonance imaging diagnosed a spinal vascular malformation, which was confirmed by angiography. Interest of MRI in such a case is emphasized.
