Resumen

Las fistulas durales espinales representan el tipo de malformación vascular más frecuente de la médula espi-nal. La descripción exacta de su angioarquitectura se debe a Kendall y Logue (1977). Producen cuadros de larga evolución de mielopatía, cuyo diagnóstico clínico y radiológico es muy difícil, por Io que a menudo cuando son diagnosticadas existe un compromiso neurológico importante, lo que conlleva un peor pronóstico en cuanto a recuperación funcional. Desde el punto de vista terapéutico se puede optar por la terapia endovascular o la quirúrgica, ambas con buenos resultados, aunque el índice de recidivas de la primera es discretamente mayor que el de la segunda. El tratamiento quirúrgico es relativamente sencillo y sus resultados bastante buenos por lo que creemos es una buena alternativa en numerosos casos. Se presentan cuatro casos de fístulas durales espinales que fueron intervenidas en nuestro centro tras fracasar el tratamiento endovascular.

Summary

Durai arteriovenous fistulas are the commonest vascular malformation of the spinal cord. Kendall and Logue accurately described this malformation in 1977. Clinical feature is with long term myelopathy. Frequently, when diagnosis is made, there are important neurological deficits, and it implies a worse prognosis. Treatment may be endovascular or surgical. Both techniques have good results but recurrences are slightly higher with endovascular therapy. Surgical treatment is easy and the results are good, therefore it is a very good choice in a lot of cases. Four cases of durai arteriovenous fistulas managed with surgical treatment are reported.
