title: Cervical spinal arteriovenous malformation.
abstract: Cervical spinal arteriovenous malformations and fistulas are rare but important entities because they are potentially curable. MRI and angiography are the most useful imaging modalities for the diagnosis. On contrast-enhanced CT imaging, they can mimic a tumor. A case report of cervical spinal arteriovenous malformation, initially believed to be a tumor, is presented.
