A case of symptomatic spinal dural arteriovenous fistula after high-volume lumbar puncture.

CONCLUSIONS: Here we report a patient with a cranial GBM and an incidental cervical spinal C5-C6 DAVF that became symptomatic after a high-volume LP. It is possible that the high-volume LP increased vascular congestion, thus precipitating the onset of cervical myelopathy. PMID: 28840068 [PubMed]
