title: Resection of an anterior spinal cord AVM through a far-lateral approach.
abstract: A small arteriovenous malformation near the craniocervical junction with contributions from the anterior spinal artery was discovered in a young developmentally-delayed woman after she presented with altered mental status and evidence of subarachnoid hemorrhage. The malformation could not be completely treated with endovascular therapy, so it was resected through a far-lateral approach. This stereoscopic video demonstrates how to gain the exposure needed to address a lesion in this area. The video can be found here: http://youtu.be/ByjPGm_eXLc .
