Abstract
61-year-old male presented with shortness of breath and chest pain. Workup for acute
myocardial infarction was negative; however, computed tomography angiography visualized
what a vascular malformation within the cervical spinal canal. Given the patient's
history of Servelle–Martorell syndrome, neurovascular imaging was performed. We present
the unique vascular findings of a right thyrocervical trunk-based dural arteriovenous
malformation (dAVM) and a large epidural venous varix. The cervical dAVM induced intervertebral
foraminal widening and polyradiculopathy, representing a rare adult case of congenital
vascular bone syndrome.
