A Case of Dural Arteriovenous Fistulae with Unconsciousness and Hemiplegia after Surgery.

Regression of Dural Arteriovenous Fistulae after Venous Flow Reconstructive Surgery in a Case with Hemangiopericytoma at the Confluence of Sinuses

BACKGROUND The mechanism by which acquired dural arteriovenous fistula (dAVF) develops is still unclear. Few cases have been reported with both dAVF and intracranial tumors, and in these few cases the authors have proposed that induced venous hypertension may lead to the pathogenesis of dAVF. We experienced a case of intrasinusoidal hemangiopericytoma (HPC) with dAVF development. In addition to...

Spinal dural arteriovenous fistula : a case report

Background: Spinal dural AVF is the most common type of spinal vascular malformation. However, presenting symptoms differ according to site of spinal involvement. This study described a case of arteriovenous malformation with paraparesis and incontinence. Case Presentation: Diagnosis of patient was confirmed by clinical and imaging examination using magnetic resonance image and ruling out ot...

Spinal dural arteriovenous fistulae--a diagnostic challenge.

BACKGROUND Spinal dural arteriovenous fistulae comprise the majority of spinal vascular malformations. The most common clinical presentation is that of progressive myeloradiculopathy, probably related to venous hypertension, which may lead to permanent disability and even death. OBJECTIVE To report our clinical experience with spinal dural arteriovenous fistulae. METHODS Nine patients with ...

Intracranial Dural Arteriovenous Fistulae: Clinical Presentation and Management Strategies.

Multidisciplinary management of multiple spinal dural arteriovenous fistulae.

Multiple SDAVFs are quite rare. We present two cases with double synchronous shunts and both were treated during one-stage interventional or surgical procedure. Unique images of the multiple SDAVFs as a PMAVF-like fistula were obtained. These interesting findings suggest the presence of multiple fistulas must be considered in patients being evaluated for SDAVF. A multidisciplinary approach to t...
