Dementia and Parkinsonism-a Rare Presentation of Intracranial Dural Arteriovenous Fistulae

A case of dural arteriovenous fistula with retrograde intracranial venous flow.

PRESENTATION Dural arteriovenous fistulae are relatively rare lesions which can present a variety of different symptoms ranging from tinnitus to devastating intracranial hemorrhage. For those fistulae that require treatment, therapy is available in a wide range of options.
