ABSTRACT
A sacral dural arteriovenous fistula (dAVF) is extremely rare, and the pathophysiological and clinical features have not been established. A 70-year-old man developed gradually progressive right-dominant bilateral sensory disorder of the lower limbs. His clinical course and electrophysiological findings were similar to those of multiple mononeuropathy. However, angiography showed a sacral dAVF at the right intervertebral foramen between the fifth lumbar and first sacral vertebrae. Endovascular embolization of the dAVF improved his clinical symptoms and electrophysiological findings. A sacral dAVF can mimic multiple mononeuropathy in terms of its clinical features and electrophysiological findings. A sacral dAVF is a treatable disease and should be considered as a differential diagnosis of lower extremity disorders.
