Abstract :

Dural arteriovenous fistulas are a heterogeneous collection of conditions that share arteriovenous shunts from dural vessels. They present variably with haemorrhage or venous hypertension and can be challenging to treat. Most dural arteriovenous fistulas present in adulthood and account for 10–15% of all cereal vascular malformations. Clinical presentation is highly variable and depends on the location of the supplying and draining vessels, as well as the presence of complications. Dural arteriovenous fistulas are usually acquired and in most instances are idiopathic. In patients with a documented antecedent cause, most occur as the result of neovascularization induced by a previously thrombosed dural venous sinus. We present an interesting case of Dural arteriovenous fistula in an elderly female.
