Application of Continuous Intraoperative Neuromonitoring (cIONM) in the Endovascular Treatment of Pediatric Spinal Arteriovenous Malformation - A Case Report

Spinal arteriovenous malformations (AVM) are rare vascular occurrences that, if left untreated, can result in devastating neurologic sequelae. Prevalence, especially in the pediatric population, is low but requires prompt diagnosis and management to avoid neurologic impairment. Embolization has been advocated as the treatment of choice for spinal AVMs. We present a rare case of a spinal AVM in an 11-year-old male managed with endovascular embolization during continuous intraoperative monitoring to ensure good functional outcome.
