Abstract

A 28-year old Malay man with evidence of an upper motor neuron cord lesion was diagnosed to have a C7 to T2 spinal arterio-venous malformation and associated cutaneous vascular lesion. He finally agreed for treatment after 5 years of progressive spastic right lower limb weakness leading to inability to mobilize. A two staged intravascular procedure was done followed by surgery with recovery of ASIA impairment scale grade B.
