Background: Sphenoid wing dural arteriovenous fistula (SWDAVF) is rare that is typically fed by middle meningeal artery feeders and that drain through the sphenoparietal sinus or middle cerebral vein. Here, we report a case of SWDAVF treated by coils placed in the venous aneurysm through the contralateral cavernous sinus (CS).
Case Description: A 37-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with headache and bilateral oculomotor nerve palsy.
Objectives: Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is a common form of intracranial hemorrhage with a high recurrence rate. This study aimed to determine the CSDH recurrence rate associated with preoperative computed tomography (CT) findings and the pathological examination of the dura and the outer membrane.
Patients And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients with CSDH who underwent surgery in our hospital between May 2010 and November 2019.
Developmental venous anomalies (DVAs) are generally asymptomatic; however, they can sometimes cause central nervous disorders. Aqueductal stenosis caused by DVAs is so rare that only 14 cases have been reported to date. Moreover, most patients are children or young adults, presenting with headaches or consciousness disturbances, associated with raised intracranial pressure.

Case Report: We report a subperiosteal hematoma that involved the entire scalp including the orbit and recurred within 6 months.
Discussion: We discuss our neuroradiologic and histopathologic findings and our management strategy.
