It usually presents with neurological deficits due to venous congestive myelopathy. Sometimes, however, the symptoms are radicular and can imitate those of a disc hernia or synovial cyst.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>OBSERVATIONS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In this illustrated case, a 34-year-old male patient presented with radicular pain due to nerve root compression. In the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination of the spine, a synovial cyst was suspected, so the patient underwent no further examination before surgery. Intraoperatively, the authors were surprised to see a vascular malformation, which was shown to be an extradural arteriovenous fistula according to the histopathological examination.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>LESSONS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In atypical MRI findings of the spine, vascular malformations should be considered.
