Background: Dural arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) are reportedly induced by trauma. We report a rare case of traumatic AVF with a direct shunt from the middle meningeal artery (MMA) to the middle meningeal vein (MMV) and multiple drainage routes after head trauma. The patient was effectively treated with selective coil embolization alone without liquid embolic material.

Therefore, in this case, study, we report a case of delayed rupture after FD placement and discuss its causes.
Case Description: This study presents the case of a 69-year-old female with multiple aneurysms who underwent FD placement with coil embolization for a large intracranial internal carotid artery aneurysm.
Objective: In the acute stage of ruptured cerebral aneurysms, limited devices are available, making the treatment difficult. We aimed to evaluate the outcomes of the coil embolization with stenting for the ruptured cerebral aneurysms in the acute stage.
Methods: We assessed 22 cases treated with stenting among 134 of 169 consecutive patients with subarachnoid hemorrhages undergoing an endovascular treatment between April 2014 and December 2021, of which 134 underwent an embolization during the acute stage.
Objective: Recently, the occlusion rate of transarterial embolization (TAE) for intracranial non-sinus-type dural arteriovenous fistulas (NSDAVFs) has improved after ONYX was introduced. Additionally, when TAE for NSDAVF is unsuccessful, transvenous embolization (TVE) has become available as an alternative treatment. We investigated the factor for the favorable occlusion rate of endovascular treatment for NSDAVF at our institutions.
