Massive subarachnoid hemorrhage during type iv spinal arteriovenous malformation embolization. An endovascular procedure complication.

We reported a 31 years old female referred to our department with progressive asymmetric spastic paraparesia for 10 months of evolution and occasional bladder dysfunction. With the diagnosis of a type IV arteriovenous malformation, a scheduled embolization was performed resulting in a massive subarachnoid hemorrhage due to the ASA laceration requiring an emergency bifrontal craniectomy. We discuss the neurosurgeońs role in complications during endovascular spinal vascular pathology treatment. PMID: 31924390 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
