Early Diagnosis of Spinal Cord Arteriovenous Malformation in a 7-Year-Old Child
Spinal cord arteriovenous malformations (AVMS) are relatively uncommon in the pediatric age group. 1 Early diagnosis is rarely made and the resulting complications arising from the AVM may have devastating long-lasting neurologic sequelae.2 Early diagnosis requires a high degree of clinical suspicion. We report the case of spinal cord AVM in a child who presented with two episodes of "neck stiffness" without headache in whom the prompt diagnosis and treatment prevented neurologic sequelae.
