Spontaneous regression of an infantile dural sinus fistula with pial recruitment.

چکیده
Infantile dural sinus fistulas are rare and generally have a poor prognosis unless treatment can be undertaken. We report a unique case of an infantile dural sinus fistula with secondary pial recruitment that was managed conservatively. Subsequent spontaneous regression of the lesion occurred over 11 months. The clinical and angiographic features that indicated a probable favorable prognosis are discussed.

متن کاملCortical versus Pial Venous Drainage in Dural Arteriovenous Fistula
directly related with intracerebral hemorrhage in dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) because the cortical vein anatomically exists in the subarachnoid space [1]. Hemorrhage is the most serious event in cranial DAVF. Cortical venous reflux (CVR) has been known as a prognostic risk factor for hemorrhage in cranial DAVF [2]. Hemorrhage risk is related to lesion location, sex and cortical venous re...
متن کاملCerebral arteriovenous fistulas induced by dural arteriovenous shunts.
Dural arteriovenous shunts and pial arteriovenous fistulas are uncommonly associated. Their etiology, pathogenesis, and natural history are still unclear and are likely different. We present three cases of high-flow dural arteriovenous shunts associated with pial arteriovenous fistulas and discuss their pathogenesis, anatomic association, and angioarchitecture. We propose that venous steal effe...
متن کاملSpontaneous closure of dural arteriovenous fistulas: report of three cases and review of the literature.
SUMMARY Three cases of spontaneously closing dural arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) are presented, and 11 previously published cases are reviewed. On the basis of clinical and angiographic data, two types of spontaneously regressing dural AVFs are distinguished: posttraumatic and spontaneous. In all cases, the explanation for spontaneous closure is unknown. Some authors have hypothesized that the ...
