case_images: MRI was normal. MRI spine revealed multiple flow voids at lumbosacral level in T2 with cord signal changes at dorsolumbar level [Figure 1a]. On spinal digital substraction angiography (DSA), filar fistula at L4-L5 level was found [Figure 1b] with feeder from the right medullary artery arising from the left D11 level [Figure 1c].

case_images: Indigocyanine green (ICG) was injected to identify feeding and draining vessels [Figure 2a]. Vein and fistula were also localized which were running parallel to the artery [Figure 2b].
