Abstract
We report two cases, in first cousins, of spinal arteriovenous malformation
s (AVMs) of the perimedullary fistula type and hereditary hemorrhagic telan
giectasia (HHT). Spinal AVMs are a rare clinical presentation of HHT, but c
an be the first manifestation in a child with this disorder. The importance
of considering a coexisting disorder of vascular dysplasia, such as HHT, w
hen a child presents with a spinal AVM is discussed.
