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

چکیده
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. We describe the case of a 60-year old patient who presented with a right occipital lesion presumably secondary to a dural arteriovenous fistula of the right transverse-sigmoid junction. The patient underwent successful endovascular treatment of the fistula. DISCUSSION The participants in our discussion present their thoughts on how to evaluate and when and how to treat dural arteriovenous fistulae.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE This article evaluates the intracranial venous hemodynamics of dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) on the basis of data from color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI) findings of the superior ophthalmic vein (SOV) and discusses the clinical application of the SOV CDFI to the DAVFs. METHODS We examined the diameter, flow direction, flow waveform, and flow velocity of the SOV usin...

Cases involving intracranial dural arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) with spinal perimedullary venous drainage exhibit variable presentations, which results in delayed diagnoses. We describe a case of a 66-year-old female with a transverse-sigmoid sinus dural AVF with spinal perimedullary venous drainage who developed dysesthesia and hypalgesia that ascended from the peripheral lower extremities. S...
متن کاملMR imaging findings of intracranial dural arteriovenous fistulas: relations with venous drainage patterns.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Venous drainage patterns are a major determinant of clinical outcome in intracranial dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) patients. In this study, we sought to identify MR imaging finding differences between DAVF types classified on the basis of venous drainage patterns. METHODS Twenty-seven patients diagnosed as having DAVFs by conventional angiography were included. Med...
متن کاملUpper extremity arteriovenous dialysis fistula resulting in cavernous sinus arterialized blood flow.
Arterialized blood flow in the cavernous sinus may result from carotid-cavernous fistula or dural venous fistula. We encountered an unusual case of arterialized blood flow in the cavernous sinus on MR angiography resulting from arterialized retrograde venous flow in the internal jugular vein. This abnormal flow originated from an upper extremity dialysis arteriovenous fistula in the presence of...
