Case Reports
Spontaneous resolution of a thoracic spinal epidural arteriovenous fistula caused by stabbing injury.
A single case is presented of a spontaneously resolving epidural arteriovenous fistula caused by a stab wound. ⋯ Spinal epidural arteriovenous fistulas (SEAVFs) are increasingly diagnosed vascular malformations with the potential to inflict serious neurological damage if not recognized and treated in time. Spontaneous resolution of a spinal vascular malformation is a well-documented yet rare phenomenon. Our observation identifies stabbing as an unusual mechanism for the formation of a SEAVF, and offers an example of complete spontaneous resolution of this type of vascular malformation.
