Key Points

To characterize the clinical presentation, neurological manifestations, and natural history of spinal vascular malformations.
Retrospective clinical case series evaluating patients with confirmed spinal vascular malformations.
Systematic assessment of patient demographics, initial presenting symptoms, motor and sensory deficits, and sphincter involvement.
Initial symptoms predominantly manifest as gradual lower extremity weakness, sensory disturbances, and back or radicular pain.
Most patients experience a progressive myelopathic deterioration over months to years rather than acute apoplectic hemorrhage.
Sphincter dysfunction and severe gait impairment frequently emerge as the lesion advances, underscoring significant long-term morbidity.
