The Role of MRA as a Preliminary Diagnostic Tool in Diagnosing and Localizing Spinal Dural Arteriovenous Fistula
Our findings suggest that MRA is a highly sensitive tool for detecting SDAVF and should be used before DSA, to decrease the likelihood of false-negative DSAs. A limited spinal DSA may also be considered in cases in which MRA clearly identifies the fistula level.
