Cervical myelopathy caused by an intracranial dural arteriovenous fistula

We report a case of progressive myelopathy in a 50-year-old lady with an intracranial dural arteriovenous fistula. Transcatheter embolization followed by surgical resection of the intracranial fistula resulted in reversal of the myelopathy. The diagnosis and management of this potentially reversible condition is discussed and the literature reviewed.
