Background and Purpose: Paravertebral arteriovenous shunts (PVAVSs) are rare. Whether the intradural venous system is involved in drainage may lead to differences in clinical characteristics through specific pathophysiological mechanisms. This study aims to comprehensively evaluate the natural history and clinical outcomes of PVAVSs with or without intradural drainage. Methods: Sixty-four consecutive patients with PVAVSs from 2 institutes were retrospectively reviewed. Lesions were classified as type A (n=28) if the intradural veins were involved in drainage; otherwise, they were classified as type B (n=36). The clinical course from initial presentation to the last follow-up was analyzed. Results: The patients with type A shunts were older at presentation (52.5 versus 35.5 years, P
