The case of a 24-year-old man with a juvenile-type spinal arteriovenous malformation is reported. Spinal angiography and magnetic resonance image revealed a juvenile (Type III) AVM at the cervical spine. This spinal malformation was successfully resected with a posterior and anterior surgical approach in two stages following partial embolization.
