    Spinal arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) from internal iliac artery branches present challenges in early diagnosis due to nonspecific symptoms and small size.

  • 2

    The study analyzed 13 patients treated for spinal AVFs, revealing common symptoms like lower extremity weakness, sensory impairment, and sphincter dysfunction.

  • 3

    Preoperative MRI showed T2 hyperintensity in 10 patients, indicating myelopathy, with dilated veins observed in the majority.

  • 4

    Endovascular treatment involved using a glue mixture for embolization, with procedures performed under local or general anesthesia based on patient needs.

  • 5

    Follow-up data indicated varying outcomes, with some patients requiring additional interventions after initial endovascular treatment.
