Spinal MRI regularly exposed perimedullary venous signal voids, although dilated draining veins of cauda equina showed prominence in eight patients only. On angiography, the precise location of the AVF was dural in nine and epidural in four patients, with fistula level ranging from L5 to S4. There was one instance of feeding vessel rupture, which was promptly controlled without sequelae. Ten patients (76.9%) experienced immediate AVF occlusions postembolization, but three lesions did recur. Single endovascular procedures ultimately resulted in stable occlusions for seven patients (53.8%). Together with subsequent surgical disconnections (n\u2009=\u20093), myelopathic symptoms abated in 10 patients overall.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Angiography studies targeting suspected spinal AVFs should include IIA branches.
