Abstract: Arteriovenous Malformationis a rare primary lesion of the spine. The lesion could be located extra or intra dural. The conus medullaris malformation is a special lesions which leads to progressive myelopathy or radiculopathy. The lesion is characterized by multiple feeding arteries, multiple niduses, and complex venous drainage. The neurological deficits may be improved dramatically over time when these lesions are successfully treated, however, the numerous feeding arteries and multiple niduses create a potential for recurrence.We report a case of a 36-year-old man complaining of serious lower limbs muscle weakness. The MRI scan showed multiple arteriovenous systems go around the conus medullaris. The spinal cord is enlarged with spinal cord edema. Embolization was proformed to stop the blood flow of main feeding artery. Post-operation the lower limb muscle weekness has been significantly improved. The patient can walk without additional support. Until the 3 months follow-up, the clinical result was satisfied.
