Spontaneous closure of a dural arteriovenous fistula associated with acute hearing loss.

چکیده
Dural arteriovenous malformations (A VMs) are a rare entity, accounting for 10%-15% of cranial AVMs. Sporadic reports of spontaneous regression of these arteriovenous shunts have appeared in the literature and support this event. However, the mechanism of regression has to date only been speculative. We report a case of spontaneous disappearance of an arteriovenous fistula in the middle ear associated with acute hearing loss and propose a hypothesis for its occurrence.
