Coexistence of a spinal dural arteriovenous fistula within a dysraphic spinal lesion is a very rare situation. We report a 40-year-old man who presented with low back pain and progressive paraparesis. MR images showed an intradural high signal intensity mass at the L2–L3 level containing irregular signal void structures. Spinal angiography revealed extradural arteriovenous fistula with three connections, drained by a tortuous perimedullary vein.
