Liquid embolics carry high risk, while particles have low efficacy. Application of selected size embolic beads capable of penetrating the nidus but not entering the sulco-comissural arteries has been proposed but not largely reported in the literature. We present two such casesCase Description A 16 year old girl suffering from progressive spastic paraparesis and hypaestesia resulting from a Th.IX-X. intramedullary AVM was treated with 3-500 and 7-900 mikron BeadBlockTM (Biocompatibles Ltd.) embolic beads injected from the proximal radicular artery. A high flow shunt was closed by NBCA embolization. Approximately 2/3 of the AVM nidus was occluded on the final angiograms. After temporary progression on day 1 she rapidly improved and was able to walk and run without any assistance 6 weeks later.Case 2 was a 47 year old women, who was surgically treated for a C.II. intramedullary AVM in 1995. She started having progressive weakness of he left extremities in 2021 and MRI in 2023 demonstrated a residual spinal cord AVM at the C.II. level. This was embolized with 7-900 mikron BeadBlockTM beads injected from the proximal radicular artery at C.V. After temporary progression, she rapidly improved and within 6 weeks she returned to her original status prior to her neurological progression in 2021. Results We concluded that using selected size embolic beads from proximal locations is a safe and on the short term highly effective mode of treatment for spinal cord AVM-s. Abstract P030 Figure 1
