Spinal Angiography

Detailed imaging procedure for evaluation and treatment of spinal vascular conditions

Overview

Spinal angiography is a specialized imaging procedure used to study blood vessels of the spinal cord and surrounding structures. It plays a vital role in diagnosing spinal vascular malformations, spinal AVMs, spinal aneurysms, and other vascular abnormalities affecting the spine. This advanced procedure provides detailed visualization that helps guide treatment planning for complex spinal vascular conditions and is essential for accurate diagnosis where standard imaging may be insufficient.

Symptoms

  • Unexplained spinal pain
  • Sudden weakness or paralysis
  • Numbness or tingling in limbs
  • Suspected spinal vascular malformation

Causes / Conditions Covered

Spinal vascular malformations, spinal AVMs, fistulas, hemangiomas, and unexplained spinal cord dysfunction.

Diagnosis

This is a diagnostic procedure itself, using contrast dye and X-ray imaging to visualize spinal blood vessels.

Treatment Options

Provides essential information for subsequent treatments like embolization or spinal vascular surgery.

Benefits of Treatment

  • Highly accurate spinal vascular mapping
  • Enables precise treatment planning
  • Detects subtle vascular abnormalities
  • Guides minimally invasive interventions

Recovery / Follow-up Care

Short observation period, hydration, and follow-up consultation to discuss findings and treatment options.
