Vertebral arteriovenous fistula (vAVF) is an uncommon vascular disease defined as abnormal connections between the vertebral artery or its branches extracranially with nearby venous structures. This case report outlines the case of a man in his late 70s presenting with C1–C3 fractures after a mild trauma falling down a small staircase. CT angiogram (CTA) gave suspicion of vertebral artery dissection and pseudoaneurysm; however, digital subtraction angiography revealed a fracture-induced vAVF successfully treated endovascularly with coils. In conclusion, cervical fractures involving the transverse foramen regardless of trauma mechanism should result in a CTA. Endovascular treatment with ipsilateral vertebral artery closure is preferred due to its feasibility and safety.

History Of

This case study discusses an unusual vertebral arteriovenous fistula of a patient with no history of an invasive medical procedure or underlying genetic disorders. The patient is a 54-year-old female with a history of tinnitus for 6 months behind the left ear prior to coming to the vascular laboratory. There was a connection between the left vertebral artery and the vertebral vein, which showed a mosaic pattern with a high velocity. The spectral Doppler waveform in the vertebral vein post the unintended anastomosis showed an arterialized venous Doppler waveform, confirming that the area of the interest was indeed an arteriovenous fistula. The image of the screening computed tomography performed on the same day did not show this connection or dilated venous system, possibly because of the small size of the fistula. A published literature suggests hyperextension as a possible suspect. There are a few test modalities that can identify an arteriovenous fistula, but ultrasound maybe the most desirable due to the fact that it does not involve an invasive procedure or a contrast dye. It is very important for a sonographer to learn the advanced information such as how to identify a true arteriovenous fistula with the analysis of Doppler waveform in the vein post the anastomosis. In doing so, it will increase the sonographer’s knowledge as well as promoting the field of ultrasound overall.

✓ This report describes the successful excision of a congenital vertebral arteriovenous malformation in an 8-year-old child. There was mild effort dyspnea and left ventricular cardiac enlargement; a left-to-right vertebral artery steal across the basilar trifurcation was a major consideration in planning the surgical approach.

Vertebral Arteriovenous Fistula

Abstract A traumatic fistula of the left vertebral artery to vertebral and epidural veins with an expanding suboccipital false aneurysm was trapped by endovascular occlusion with detachable balloons. The lesion was not amenable to treatment using the left vertebral artery alone for access. Distal trapping was accomplished by catheterizing the (contralateral) right vertebral artery and placing the balloon retrograde into the distal segment of the left vertebral artery. This maneuver extends the range of vertebral artery lesions for which detachable balloons, either alone or as an adjunct to operation, can be used.
