Dural Arteriovenous Fistula Involving an Isolated Sinus Treated Using Transarterial Onyx Embolization
نویسندگان
چکیده
The authors present a case of isolated dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) in the transverse sinus, which developed six years after microvascular decompression caused by hemifacial spasm via suboccipital craniectomy. The lesion was successfully treated by transarterial embolization using Onyx. We reviewed the related radiologic and therapeutic features of DAVF involving an isolated sinus and described the feasibility of the use of Onyx.

Onyx removal after embolization of a superior sagittal sinus dural arteriovenous fistula involving scalp artery
BACKGROUND Most dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) in superior sagittal sinus (SSS) requires multimodal treatment. Onyx embolization is useful for DAVF; however, scalp artery embolization has cast extrusion risk. CASE DESCRIPTION A 59-year-old male presented with involuntary movements of both legs and progressive dementia. Cerebral angiography demonstrated the DAVF in the SSS fed by bilateral...
متن کاملOnyx transarterial embolization of dural arteriovenous fistula for failed N-butyl cyanoacrylate treatment: case report
Total occlusion of dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) via transarterial embolization is difficult due to the rich anastomotic network of the dural/falcine plethora of feeding arteries, blood supply to cranial nerves, and extracranial to intracranial anastomoses. Incomplete occlusion of the fistulas will result in recanalization of the DAVF from the multiple collateral arteries constituting th...
متن کاملTentorial Dural Arteriovenous Fistula Treated Using Transarterial Onyx Embolization
Tentorial dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) is a rare vascular disease, which has high risk of intracranial hemorrhage. We present two cases of tentorial DAVF which were successfully treated with single trial of transarterial embolization using Onyx. We briefly reviewed the types of the tentorial DAVF and strategies of treatment.

OBJECTIVE Treatment of intracranial dural arteriovenous fistulas (dAVFs) remains a challenge. However, after introduction of Onyx, transarterial approach is the preferred treatment option in many centers. We report our experience of dAVFs embolization with special emphasis on transarterial approach. METHODS Seventeen embolization procedures were performed in 13 patients with dAVFs between Jan...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE An increasing number of intracranial dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) are amenable to endovascular treatment with Onyx. However, reports on complications caused by this technique have been limited. We present the initial Beijing Tiantan Hospital experience with adverse events related to transarterial Onyx embolization for DAVFs. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between Septemb...
