A rare case of treatment of giant paravertebral arteriovenous malformation combined with idiopathic scoliosis

Abstract

The paper describes a case of successful treatment of a 32-year-old female patient with idiopathic scoliosis combined with giant paravertebral arteriovenous malformation in the lower thoracic region, causing the T11 vertebral body destruction, circular epidural compression, and myelopathy. The treatment was performed using 3D printing technology and hybrid surgery. The follow-up period after the first surgery was 26 months. The case report is accompanied by a literature review that analyzes world experience in the treatment of spinal arteriovenous malformations.
