Abstract
Spinal cord arteriovenous malformations encompass a variety of distinct les ions with aberrant connections between the arterial and venous circulation. Symptomatology and clinical presentation of such lesions are directly rela ted to their location and particular pathophysiology. In the authors' surgi cal experience, 90% of patients have had the same or improved neurologic fu nction and long-term follow-up.
