Background. Vertebral arteriovenous fistulas are relatively rare. Although the common treatment is transarterial embolization, it may be impossible to pass through the fistula (e.g. a microfistula created by a needle puncture). We report two patients with vertebral arteriovenous fistulas due to penetrating trauma who were successfully treated by transvenous embolization.
