Abstract:
Cervical vertebral arteriovenous fistula is a rare entity that is typically managed with endovascular techniques. We describe 2 consecutive cases of spontaneous obliteration of high flow cervical vertebral arteriovenous fistulas following angiography. Our cases pose an interesting natural history course, and we review the role of angiography in the unusual phenomenon of spontaneous obliteration of vascular malformations. These 2 cases bring forward the possibility of conservative management in such lesions.

Muscles of the Vertebral Column
Superficial Layer:
The superficial layer consists primarily of the splenius muscles, which include the splenius capitis and splenius cervicis. These muscles are mainly responsible for the head and cervical spine movements, including extension, rotation, and lateral bending. The splenius capitis...

Regions of the Vertebral Column
In an adult, the spine is subdivided into five regions: the cervical, the thoracic, the lumbar, the sacral, and the coccygeal region. The spine initially develops as a series of 33 vertebrae; after 20 years of age, the nine bones in the sacral region, five sacral, and four coccygeal bones fuse to form...
