description BACKGROUND: Spinal dural AVF is the most common type of spinal vascular malformation. However, presenting symptoms differ according to site of spinal involvement. This study described a case of arteriovenous malformation with paraparesis and incontinence. CASE PRESENTATION: Diagnosis of patient was confirmed by clinical and imaging examination using magnetic resonance image and ruling out other possibilities RESULT: A definitive diagnosis of arterio venous fistula was confirmed by clinical and MRI examination and demonstrated abnormalities compatible with dural arteriovenous fistula. CONCLUSION: Dural arteriovenous fistula should be considered in patients with paresis in both lower extremities.
