Dural arteriovenous fistulae developing at different locations after resolution of previous fistulae: report of three cases and review of the literature.

چکیده
We present three cases of unusual dural arteriovenous fistulae developing at other dural sinuses after resolution of initial lesions by treatment. In all three cases, the second lesions developed at different sinuses ipsilateral to the initial lesions, and the intervals between the resolution of the initial lesions and the appearance of the second lesions was <12 months. Clinical characteristics, including those previously reported, are discussed.

DAVFs can be associated with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), a feature distinguishing them from DAVFs in the thoracolumbar region. These lesions are often overlooked at cerebral angiography performed to assess SAH and account for a small proportion of angiographically negative SAHs. After manag...

Three representative cases selected f...

متن کاملImaging diagnosis of dural and direct cavernous carotid fistulae*
Arteriovenous fistulae of the cavernous sinus are rare and difficult to diagnose. They are classified into dural cavernous sinus fistulae or direct carotid-cavernous fistulae. Despite the similarity of symptoms between both types, a precise diagnosis is essential since the treatment is specific for each type of fistula. Imaging findings are remarkably similar in both dural cavernous sinus fistu...
