✦ Synopsis
A newborn baby boy with a high-flow arteriovenous malformation (AVM) of the dorsal spinal cord is reported. The baby was born paraplegic. The myelogram suggested an increased vasculature, showing irregular worm-like radiolucent lesions of the dorsal spinal cord. Spinal angiography showed a huge arteriovenous angioma of the dorsal spinal cord with an intra-spinal aneurysmal sac. The vascular supply was decreased after two embolizations. This was followed by complete surgical resection of the aneurysmal sac.

The highly vascular nature of the head and neck area provides a particularly enhanced challenge to the head and neck surgeon when a vascular lesion is encountered. Vascular malformations in this area are classified according to the microanatomical architecture and clinical appearance of the lesion.
