Arteriovenous malformation of the spinal cord. Surgical treatment of seven cases.
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.
