Spinal IV double-dose computed tomography (DCT) followed by reformation imagings was performed on 4 patients. Three cases received double-dose contrast injections, one case received a conventional single dose contrast material. 'Dots' enhancement on axial CT scanning and 'vasculature-like' hyperdense enhancement on sagittal and coronal reformation imagings were found in four cases of spinal arteriovenous malformation (AVM). Two were at the cervical region and two at the thoracic level. Typical serpentine filling defects were noted in the myelogram of three cases of spinal AVM. One patient suffered from acute onset of paraplegia (case 2), requiring that she received immediate surgical intervention after DCT scanning without myelography. Time for the whole procedure lasted approximately 20 minutes. In addition DCT followed by reformation imaging may be used as a noninvasive preliminary screening procedure for spinal AVMs.
