Cerebral venous drainage in patients with dural arteriovenous fistulas: correlation with clinical presentation.

Objective: Dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) are abnormal, acquired arteriovenous connections within the dural leaflets. Their associated symptoms may be mild or severe and are related to the patient's venous anatomy. With the hypothesis that the patient's venous anatomy determines the development of symptoms, the authors aimed to identify which venous anatomy elements are important in the development of major symptoms in patients with a DAVF.

Treatment of hemorrhagic intracranial dissections.

Objective: To analyze the treatment options in hemorrhagic intracranial dissections.

Methods: This study involved a retrospective review of 27 patients with 29 dissections treated during a 16-year period, mainly by endovascular treatment (EVT).

Results: EVT was performed in the acute stage in 12 of the 29 dissections, and occlusion was performed using coils at the dissection site in six dissections and with proximal balloon occlusion in six dissections.
