A Novel Association between<i>RASA1</i>Mutations and Spinal Arteriovenous Anomalies

Abstract

To our knowledge, an association of RASA1 mutation and spinal AVM/AVF has not been described. MR imaging screening of patients with characteristic CMs and neurologic symptoms presenting at a young age may be useful in detecting the presence of fast-flow intracranial or intraspinal arteriovenous anomalies before potentially significant neurologic insult has occurred.
