Abstract:
We report a case of a spontaneous vertebral arteriovenous fistula treated with interlocking detachable coils (IDC). The patient had presented with paroxysmal dizziness and a cervical bruit. Angiography demonstrated a high flow arteriovenous fistula of the right extracranial vertebral artery. Embolisation was performed via the transarterial approach using 2 IDCs. The advantage of IDCs in the treatment of high flow arteriovenous fistulae is discussed.
