Abstract
Spinal arteriovenous malformations are rare cause of spinal cord syndromes. It is important in identifying them early as it is a potentially treatable cause. The clinical and radiological features may mimic demyelination. But steroids worsen the symptoms as opposed to demyelinating illnesses. We describe the case of a middle aged man presenting with the relapsing paraplegia.
