摘要
Arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) at the craniocervical junction (CCJ) are uncommon conditions with complex angioarchitecture. The objective of this study was to identify the angioarchitectural features of CCJ-AVF that were predictive of clinical presentation and neurological function. The study encompassed a total of 68 consecutive patients with CCJ-AVF at two neurosurgical centers between 2014 and 2022. Additionally, a systematic review was conducted, including 68 cases with detailed clinical data obtained via PubMed database spanning 1990 to 2022. Clinical and imaging data were collected and pooled together to analyze factors associated with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), myelopathy, and modified Rankin scale (mRS) at presentation. The mean age of the patients was 54.5 ± 13.1 years, with 76.5% of them being male. The most common feeding arteries were V3-medial branches (33.1%), and drainage was frequently through the anterior or posterior spinal vein/perimedullary vein (72.8%). SAH was the most common presentation (49.3%), and an associated aneurysm was identified as a risk factor for SAH (adjusted OR, 7.44; 95%CI, 2.89–19.15). Anterior or posterior spinal vein/perimedullary vein (adjusted OR, 2.78; 95%CI, 1.00–7.72) and male gender (adjusted OR, 3.76; 95%CI, 1.23–11.53) were associated with higher risk for myelopathy. Myelopathy at presentation was an independent risk factor for unfavorable neurological status (adjusted OR per score, 4.73; 95%CI, 1.31–17.12) in untreated CCJ-AVF. The present study identifies risk factors associated with SAH, myelopathy, and unfavorable neurological status at presentation in patients with CCJ-AVF. These findings may help treatment decisions for these complex vascular malformations.
