Current Concept ofVascular
Structures ofSpinal Arteriovenous
Lesions
KirillYurievichOrlov
andDmitryS.Kislitsin
Abstract
Understanding of current concepts of spinal
arteriovenous lesions strictly depends on
understanding of spatial vascular anatomy and
visualization of focal vascular structures.
Most classications up to date are based on
either topical localization of stula or arteries
that form arteriovenous shunt. Regardless of
the implied classication, the major point of
discrimination of the pathology is the possibil-
ity to treat it weighted against certain possibil-
ity to cause neurological symptoms. Hence,
understanding of angiographic ndings is the
most crucial skill that neurovascular specialist
should develop. Multiple classication sys-
tems are proposed nowadays, but the so-called
“combined effort” system is the most widely
used one. According to this classication, all
spinal AV lesions are divided into the follow-
ing subgroups: type I, radicular arteriovenous
stulas; type II, glomus AVMs; type III, juve-
nile AVMs; type IV, perimedullary pial stu-
las; and type V, extradural shunts. Type V
comprise of heterogeneous group that is
slightly out of the scope of this chapter. While
established classication system somewhat
lacks in risk stratication and decision-
making, it is the best tool in the development
of understanding of complex pathological
anatomy. Despite rapid development of nonin-
vasive imaging techniques, catheter spinal
angiography is still the gold standard of spinal
vascular lesion visualization. Thus, the most
important skill that neurovascular specialist is
ought to have is the ability to “read” spinal
angiogram, to differentiate normal structures
from pathology. This ability comes with a lot
of diligence, as spinal angiography is more
tricky and tedious than cerebral
DSA. Experience in open spinal surgery is
also a valuable asset.

1995 proposed to stage spinal arteriovenous
pathology based on the anatomy of venous drain-
age, and Bao etal. in 1997 proposed the nomen-
clature with the greatest emphasis on anatomical
relation of the AVMs to the spinal cord [3].
Spetzler and colleagues, in 2002, proposed the
most complex classication that would cover
almost every single possible spinal lesion [4].
The result of multiple, often unrelated, scientic
effort resulted in the appearance of the so-called
combined effort classication [5, 6], which
includes four types of lesions: radicular sleeve
stulas (type I), intramedullary glomus AVMs
(type II), juvenile metameric lesions (type III),
and perimedullary AVFs (type IV). There is still a
lack of general consensus of denitive classica-
tion, and multiple centers propose new models of
nomenclature [7], and though “modern” classi-
cations tend to rely more on angiographic nd-
ings or allow to stratify risks precisely, for
teaching purposes, in this chapter, we are going
to stand with the most widespread “combined
effort” system.
3.1 Type I
By far, the most common among all spinal AV
lesions are radicular arteriovenous stulas,
which account for up to 60–70% of all spinal
vascular conditions [8, 9]. It is presumed that
the pathology is of acquired nature [10] though
precise etiology is still unknown. The most
prominent common feature of the lesions in this
group is the anatomical relation to the dural
root sleeve. The vessel of origin is always a
radicular artery with the drainage into the
radicular vein. That drainage is not always
direct, and pathological vessel net can often be
visualized (see Fig.3.1 as an illustrative case).
As most of those lesions are located posteriorly,
they are a great subject for microsurgical treat-
ment [11], though the role of endovascular
methods gains much more weight with the
progress of the techniques [12].
The cornerstone of endovascular emboliza-
tion, for radicular stulas, is the ability to visual-
ize radiculomedullary artery (RMA). Those
arteries are irregular and of variable origin [13],
and thus, neurovascular specialist can only rely
on his understanding of local spatial anatomy to
discriminate them. The rule of thumb is to never
embolize unless one guarantees the patency of
RMA.
Although clinically most radicular stulas
appear in adult and elderly patients, the authors
of this chapter have had an extremely unusual
experience with high-ow thoracic radicular s-
tula, of highly likely congenital origin, in the
9-year-old child, who manifested with pleural
effusion due to distention of the common tho-
racic duct. See Fig.3.2 for an illustrative case.

3.2 Type II
This cohort includes nidus arteriovenous malfor-
mations (also known as glomus malformations).
The distinctive feature of type II lesions is the
presence of intramedullary arteriovenous nidus.
Pathophysiology and histological properties in
the group are identical to cerebral AVMs (with
adjustments for localization and distinct spatial
anatomy). Glomus malformations are the second
most common spinal AV lesions following radic-
ular DAVFs and account for approximately 30%
of cases [3]. Among them, 70% are located in the
thoracolumbar region, and 30% are located in the
cervical segments, with caudo-medullar AVMs
being a different nosological group associated
with tethered spinal cord syndrome [14]. In con-
trast with type I, where clinical presentation is
usually related to congestive myelopathy, type II
lesions (as well as their cerebral “siblings”) often
tend to manifest with hemorrhage (the annual
rate is estimated to be 4% for previously unrup-
tured AVMs and 10% for those with history of
hemorrhages) [15]. However, venous congestion
is still a factor in pathogenesis of spinal nidus
malformations [16]. Surgical treatment propos-
edly gains the most radical results [15], while
endovascular measures allow to achieve cure in
approximately 30% of cases [16, 17]. Needless to
say, that constant progress in endovascular mate-
rials and techniques should increase the endovas-
cular curability of spinal AVMs, though in
contrast with brain AVMs, even the large retro-
spective cohort studies seem to be impossible due
to the relative rarity of the lesions. Radiosurgery,
while hasn’t been proven as a curative method, is
still capable to obliterate some nodes and should
be considered as an option for the cases where
local anatomy rules out microsurgery or endovas-
cular intervention [18].
Vascular anatomy is the major factor in the
technical possibility of complete endovascular
obliteration. For thoracolumbar lesions, it is
important to recognize major spinal trunks warped
by the high-ow anomaly. Decision to embolize
should only be made when one can be sure that
the anterior or posterior spinal arteries will not be
compromised by either propagation of embolic
agent or by critical reux. Not to mention that in
comparison with cerebral AVMs, thoracolumbar
spine AVMs usually do not have multiple cathe-
terizable feeders, owing to the segmental nature
of spinal circulation. See Fig.3.3 for an illustra-
tive case of thoracolumbar type II AVM.
Cervical region differs from other segments
by more “rostral” multiple source inow, with the
involvement of costocervical and thyrocervical
trunks and vertebral arteries. Cervical AVMs
have more variability in the inow and outow,
but due to extremely high stakes of the cervical
medullar edema, open surgery should probably
routinely follow embolization at least in limited
decompressive form. See Fig.3.4 for an example
of cervical glomus AVM.

3.3 Type III
Juvenile spinal AVM is another distinct nosology
that comprises of lesions that involve not only the
spinal cord but also most of the tissues (i.e., ver-
tebrae and muscles) in the involved metamere,
thus the alternative name “metameric.” These
lesions are extremely rare and are thought to be
of congenital origin [19]. By far the most com-
plex among all spinal vascular lesions, metameric
