To better define the presentation, prognosis, and optimal treatment of these lesions, the authors present their treatment experiences for conus medullaris AVM.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>METHODS<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Eleven patients with AVM of the conus medullaris were identified between March 2013 and December 2021. Among these patients, 7 who underwent microsurgical treatment were included. Patient data, including age, sex, symptoms at presentation, neurological status, radiological findings, nidus depth (mainly pial lesion vs intramedullary lesion), type of treatment, and recurrence at follow-up, were collected. Postoperative angiography was performed in all patients. Spinal cord function was evaluated using the Frankel grade at the time of admission and 1 year after surgery.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>All 7 patients presenting with myeloradiculopathy were treated surgically. Four patients (57.1%) underwent endovascular embolization, followed by resection. The other 3 patients underwent microsurgery only. Complete occlusion was confirmed with postoperative angiography in all patients. Of the 3 patients who were nonambulatory before surgery (Frankel grade C), 2 were able to walk after surgery (Frankel grade D) and 1 remained nonambulatory (Frankel grade C) at 1-year follow-up.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Based on the authors\u2019 clinical experiences, the results of multimodal treatment for conus medullaris AVM are good, with microsurgical treatment playing an important role. The microsurgical strategy can differ depending on the location of the nidus, and when possible, good results can be expected through microsurgical resection.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3171\/2024.1.spine231284","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,16]],"date-time":"2024-04-16T16:55:28Z","timestamp":1713286528000},"page":"115-121","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Treatment of conus medullaris arteriovenous malformation: the role of microsurgical treatment"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"41","author":[{"given":"Jong Min","family":"Lee","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Ulsan University Hospital, University of Ulsan College of Medicine, Ulsan, Republic of Korea; and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jin Hoon","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Asan Medical Center, University of Ulsan College of Medicine, Seoul, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jung Cheol","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Asan Medical Center, University of Ulsan College of Medicine, Seoul, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jae Sung","family":"Ahn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Asan Medical Center, University of Ulsan College of Medicine, Seoul, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wonhyoung","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Asan Medical Center, University of Ulsan College of Medicine, Seoul, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1754","reference":[{"issue":"2 Suppl","key":"b1","series-title":"J Neurosurg","first-page":"145","article-title":"Modified classification of spinal cord vascular lesions","volume":"96","author":"Spetzler RF","year":"2002","unstructured":"Spetzler RF, Detwiler PW, Riina HA, Porter RW.
