Dural arteriovenous fistula in association with heterotopic brain nodule in the transverse sinus.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a 56-year-old woman with a dural arteriovenous fistula involving the transverse sinus in association with a nodule of heterotopic brain tissue in the sinus. This finding is discussed in light of a recent radiologic study of nodules in the transverse sinus.

Percutaneous transvenous embolization through the thrombosed sinus in transverse sinus dural fistula.
Each of two patients presented with a dural arteriovenous fistula involving the transverse sinus. The sinus was thrombosed proximal and distal to the dural arteriovenous fistula with the venous drainage being retrograde through cortical veins. An ipsilateral percutaneous transjugular approach was used in both cases and allowed recanalization of the thrombosed sinus and embolization of the dural...
متن کاملVenous hypertension as the cause of intracranial hypertension in patients with transverse sinus dural arteriovenous fistula.
We describe 2 patients with transverse sinus dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) who presented with headache and papilledema due to intracranial hypertension. It has been proposed, but never proven, that venous hypertension causes the intracranial hypertension in DAVF. The data from our patients support this hypothesis. An additional factor leading to intracranial hypertension could be stenosi...

متن کاملTreatment of dural arteriovenous fistula presenting as typical symptoms of hydrocephalus caused by venous congestion: case report.
A 76-year-old woman presented with a dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) manifesting as typical symptoms of normal pressure hydrocephalus such as progressive dementia, gait disturbances, and urinary incontinence. The cerebrospinal fluid pressure during lumbar puncture was 120 mmH(2)O. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging showed ventricular dilation and diffuse white matter changes,...
متن کاملAlteration in the venous drainage of a dural arteriovenous fistula following angioplasty.
The pattern of venous drainage from a dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) has been shown to affect the natural history of these lesions. Angioplasty and stent placement of the dural sinuses have been described to improve outflow in venous hypertensive states and may improve the venous drainage pattern from a DAVF. We report the case of a patient with a benign but stenosed type IIa transverse sin...
