چکیده
Tentorial dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) is a rare vascular disease, which has high risk of intracranial hemorrhage. We present two cases of tentorial DAVF which were successfully treated with single trial of transarterial embolization using Onyx. We briefly reviewed the types of the tentorial DAVF and strategies of treatment.

Dural Arteriovenous Fistula Involving an Isolated Sinus Treated Using Transarterial Onyx Embolization
The authors present a case of isolated dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) in the transverse sinus, which developed six years after microvascular decompression caused by hemifacial spasm via suboccipital craniectomy. The lesion was successfully treated by transarterial embolization using Onyx. We reviewed the related radiologic and therapeutic features of DAVF involving an isolated sinus and des...

UNLABELLED Dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) may have aggressive symptoms, especially if there is direct cortical venous drainage. We report our preliminary experience in transarterial embolization of DAVFs with direct cortical venous drainage (CVR) using Onyx. METHOD Nine patients with DAVFs with direct cortical venous drainage were treated: eight type IV and one type III (Cognard). Treat...
متن کاملOnyx transarterial embolization of dural arteriovenous fistula for failed N-butyl cyanoacrylate treatment: case report
Total occlusion of dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) via transarterial embolization is difficult due to the rich anastomotic network of the dural/falcine plethora of feeding arteries, blood supply to cranial nerves, and extracranial to intracranial anastomoses. Incomplete occlusion of the fistulas will result in recanalization of the DAVF from the multiple collateral arteries constituting th...

AIM To present our experience on transarterial treatment of dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) with ONYX in adult patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS Between March 2008 and November 2012, 27 adult patients with DAVFs treated by transarterial ONYX embolization were included. Clinical data, including hospital records, operative reports, and angiograms, were reviewed and analyzed. RESULTS Complet...
متن کاملEmbolization of a spinal dural arteriovenous fistula with ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (Onyx) using a dual-lumen microballoon catheter and buddy wire technique
BACKGROUND N-butyl 2-cyanoacrylate (NBCA) remains the standard embolic agent for spinal dural arteriovenous fistula (SDAVF) treatment. Treatment of SDAVF with ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (Onyx, ev3-Covidien, Irvine CA, USA) is currently not well established. Although several cases have reported the use of Onyx to embolize an intracranial dural arteriovenous fistula using a dual-lumen micro...
