Spinal dural arteriovenous fistula (SDAVF) is a common spinal vascular malformation predominantly occurring in the thoracolumbar region, and craniocervical junction SDAVF (CCJ-SDAVF) is rare. Endovascular interventional embolization and surgical severance of the fistula are the mainstay of treatment for this condition. We report a patient with acute subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) secondary to CCJ-SDAVF.

BackgroundSpinal dural arteriovenous fistulas (SDAVFs) are the most common type of spinal arteriovenous malformation. Typically, these malformations present with a wide range of nonspecific symptoms indicative of thoracolumbar myelopathy. However, patients with spinal dural arteriovenous fistulas may rarely present with subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Intracranial epidermoid cysts are rare, benign lesions accounting for 1% of intracranial tumors. They may arise from misplaced squamous epithelium during neural tube closure, and are found in the paramedian position, cerebellopontine angle, or parasellar region with other locations considered rare. The far lateral approach and its extensions enables access and visualization of ventral and ventrolateral lesions at the craniocervical junction without retraction.

Intracranial dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) with drainage into the perimedullary veins have been reported to cause brainstem and spinal hemorrhages, subarachnoid hemorrhages, and progressive myelopathy. However, there have been no reports of craniocervical junction arteriovenous fistulas (CCJ-AVFs) complicated by lateral medullary syndrome (LMS) and subsequently treated. We present a case successfully treated with transvenous and transarterial embolization.

Background: Hypertrophic pachymeningitis (HP) is a rare neurological disorder characterized by dural thickening. Here, we discuss the diagnosis and surgical management of a 38-year-old whose myelopathy was attributed to dorsally compressive HP extending from the lower cerebellar fossa to C3.

Case Description: A 38-year-old male with Sjögren's syndrome presented with cervical pain, upper limb paresis, dysphagia, and left-sided tongue/palate paralysis.
