Abstract |
Onyx may be an option for embolization of spinal cord arteriovenous malformation (AVM). However, due to its unique physical characteristics, the embolized vessel is exposed to tractional tension during withdrawal of the microcatheter.
We present an unusual case of radicular artery tear associated with Onyx embolization of spinal cord AVM. |
