Vertebral arteriovenous fistula: endovascular treatment with electrodetachable coils.
We report a patient with an iatrogenic vertebro-vertebral fistula responsible for a cerebellar syndrome and a cervical bruit. Endovascular treatment of the fistula was carried out using electrically detachable coils. An angiogram 5 months after treatment showed that the fistula had totally disappeared.
