Angioarchitectural Evolution of Clival Dural Arteriovenous Fistulas in Two Patients
نویسندگان
چکیده
Dural arteriovenous fistulas (dAVFs) may present in a variety of ways, including as carotid-cavernous sinus fistulas. The ophthalmologic sequelae of carotid-cavernous sinus fistulas are known and recognizable, but less commonly seen is the rare clival fistula. Clival dAVFs may have a variety of potential anatomical configurations but are defined by the involvement of the venous plexus just overlying the bony clivus. Here we present two cases of clival dAVFs that most likely evolved from carotid-cavernous sinus fistulas.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE A minority of intracranial dural arteriovenous fistulas progress with time. We sought to determine features that predict progression and define outcomes of patients with progressive dural arteriovenous fistulas. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed a retrospective imaging and clinical record review of patients with intracranial dural arteriovenous fistula evaluated at our...

Dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) are abnormal connections between arteries and veins that are classified by location, morphology or direction of venous drainage. Treatment of DAVFs is undertaken in patients with severe symptoms or those with retrograde cortical venous drainage and/or venous ectasia. Much is written regarding the treatment of DAVFs involving the transverse sigmoid sinuses, c...

PURPOSE To investigate which clinical and angioarchitectural features were associated with the occurrence of intracranial hemorrhage in patients with intracranial dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs). MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the clinical and angioarchitectural features of 236 consecutive patients diagnosed with DAVF in our department from April 2009 to November 2013....

Dural arteriovenous fistulas are acquired lesions that usually involve the dura around the cavernous sinus. The transverse, sigmoid, and superior sagittal sinuses may be affected occasionally. With the exception of bilateral cavernous sinus dural arteriovenous fistulas, the simultaneous occurrence of dural arteriovenous fistulas at two locations is rare. Among 105 patients evaluated for dural a...

PURPOSE We report on the evolution in one institution from transarterial embolization for the treatment of dural arteriovenous fistulas of the lateral and sigmoid sinuses to the safer and more durable technique of transvenous endovascular therapy for the majority of these lesions. METHODS Arterial, venous, and combined embolizations were performed for 24 fistulas of the lateral and sigmoid si...
