[Vertebral arteriovenous fistula. Surgical technic by the paramedian posterior approach].
Description of an arterio-venous fistula of the suboccipital V3 portion of the vertebral artery in a male of 48. The first clinical manifestation of the fistula was a bruit following an injury, which had produced i.a. a mandibular fracture. For various reasons, the authors are of opinion that the fistula was rather congenital than traumatic. The technique of a paramedian surgical approach of the lesion is described. The authors think that this is a valuable procedure in the treatment of vertebral arterio-venous fistulas in the region between C2 and the foramen magnum.
