Although typically associated with chronic myelopathy, rupture of SDAVFs is a rare yet severe complication that can result in acute spinal cord injury secondary to intradural hematoma expansion.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Case Description:<\/jats:title>\n A 53-year-old male presented with fluctuating neck and back pain, unsteady gait, right leg numbness, and urinary retention, eventually attributed to a ruptured thoracic SDAVF resulting in a T3-T4 subdural hematoma. The original magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a subdural collection with severe spinal cord compression, without any evidence of flow-voids indicative of a vascular malformation; the emergent spinal angiogram was negative for any vascular abnormalities. An emergent T2-3 laminectomy was performed for hematoma evacuation and fistula ligation (i.e., after identification of the fistula intraoperatively). Postoperatively, the patient gradually improved.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n Early recognition and emergent surgical management of spinal subdural hematomas due to SDAVF ruptures are critical. Adequate preoperative preparation for open-vascular management of these lesions may be warranted despite negative preoperative vascular imaging.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.25259\/sni_1172_2025","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,26]],"date-time":"2025-12-26T09:56:07Z","timestamp":1766742967000},"page":"551","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.25259\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Ruptured spinal dural arteriovenous fistula with subdural hematoma: A case report"],"prefix":"10.25259","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Lauren Elizabeth","family":"Williamson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Medicine, Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, United States"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Brian Fabian","family":"Saway","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, United States"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Robert John","family":"Weil","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, United States"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alejandro Marin","family":"Spiotta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, United States"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Roberta Kay","family":"Sefcik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, United States"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"10894","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_1172_2025\/ref-1","first-page":"255","article-title":"Subdural hematoma from a Type I spinal arteriovenous malformation.
