Abstract :Pure extradural spinal arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are formed with an epidural artery, a nidus and an arterialized intradural vein in the absence of vertebral cavernous hemangioma and uncommon lesions. The most common extradural tumors are metastasis, lymphomas , benign tumors and malignant bony tumors. Herein, w e present a -29-year-old Turkish woman with pure extradural mass that histopathologically diagnosed as AVM . When an extradural spinal compressive mass is detected, neurosurgeons should consider on AVM in differential diagnosis and requirement of selective spinal angiography.Keywords : Arteriovenous malformation, selective spinal angiography, extradural mass
