Abstract
The authors report the case of a patient harbouring a spinal dural art eriovenous fistula adjacent to an intradural neurofibroma. Only the la tter could be demonstrated by the diagnostic modalities employed. Such a coexistence proved misleading and two interventions were needed to cure both lesions. Only one report has appeared in the literature deal ing with such a condition. The possibility of such a coexistence is st ressed and mechanisms are discussed.
