title: Arteriovenous malformation of the spinal cord. Surgical treatment of seven cases.
abstract: The authors report seven cases of vascular malformations of the spinal cord. The AVMs were completely excised in five cases; in one case the clipping of the feeding vessel alone was performed; one patient with a huge cervical AVM died of respiratory complications independent of a simple laminectomy.
