UNASSIGNED: Spinal dural arteriovenous @entity292 (SDAVF) is a relatively common acquired @entity1462 of the spinal cord. Assessment of a SDAVF is often difficult because of non-specific findings on non-invasive imaging modalities. Diagnosis of a SDAVF is often delayed, and some @entity1 receive unnecessary treatment and treatment delays, often resulting in a poor outcome. The aim of this study was to characterize the clinical presentation, typical imaging findings, and long-term outcome of SDAVF. Forty @entity1 (13 @entity1 , 27 @entity1 ; mean age 58.18  standard deviation 14.75years) who were treated at our hospital from June 1992 to March 2014 were retrospectively reviewed. We investigated the baseline characteristics, clinical presentation, imaging findings, treatment modalities, and outcome of the @entity1 . The most common clinical presentation was a sensory symptom (80%), followed by @entity425 (70%), and @entity1690 (62.5%). Roughly one-third (32.5%) of @entity1 had a stepwise progression of fluctuating @entity425 , but the most common presentation was chronic progressive @entity1109 (47.5%). Thirty-four @entity1 (85%) had T2 signal change on the spinal cord MRI, indicative of cord @entity4 . Thirty-eight @entity1 had typical perimedullary vessel flow voids on T2-weighted MRI. Twenty-eight @entity1 were treated with endovascular embolization, five @entity1 underwent surgery, and four @entity1 underwent both. Clinical outcome was determined by severity of @entity51 (p=0.008), extent of cord @entity4 (p=0.010), treatment failure (p=0.004), and a residual @entity292 (p=0.017). SDAVF causes a treatable @entity602 , so early diagnosis and intervention is essential.
