Open surgical disconnection has long been the treatment of choice for dural arteriovenous fistulas (dAVFs) of the anterior cranial fossa. However, advanced patient age and the presence of medical comorbidities can substantially increase the risk of craniotomy and favor a less invasive endovascular approach. Optimal positioning within the distal ophthalmic artery, beyond the origin of the central retinal branch, is achievable using current microcatheter technology and embolic materials. Here we present the case of an 88-year-old female with an incidentally discovered dAVF of the anterior cranial fossa. Angiographic cure was achieved with one-stage Onyx embolization.

Infantile dural arteriovenous fistula (IDAVF) is a rare complex dural arteriovenous fistulas. This study is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the angioarchitecture of arteriovenous shunts in IDAVFs and planning endovascular treatment. Five cases of IDAVF and a literature review were analyzed to characterize the shunt patterns of IDAVFs in terms of anatomic relations to the arterial feeder, sinuses, and cortical veins.

The petrous and tentorial dural arteriovenous fistulas are vascular malformations that are very infrequent but highly aggressive, with a significant risk of intracranial hemorrhage and neurological deficits. Optimal management remains one of the most debated subjects, with various series reporting endovascular and microsurgical approaches. Therefore, this systematic review aims to assess the efficacy, safety, and outcomes of different treatment modalities of petrous and tentorial dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) based on clinical presentation, imaging techniques, treatment outcome, and complications arising in the course of their treatment.

Background: Craniocervical junction (CCJ) dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) represent a rare yet critical vascular anomaly that may result in significant neurological impairments.
Method: We report the case of a 52-year-old male with a history of medullary hemorrhage who underwent surgical intervention for a left CCJ DAVF. Through comprehensive surgical planning and meticulous intraoperative monitoring, multiple feeders of the DAVF were safely coagulated and transected, with successful DAVF obliteration confirmed by intraoperative angiography.

Background And Purpose: Lateral sinus dural arteriovenous fistulas (LS-DAVFs) carry a higher rate of recurrence after endovascular treatment (EVT). Our objective was to investigate the independent predictors of recurrence and unfavorable functional outcome of low-and intermediate-grade LS-DAVFs after EVT.
Materials And Methods: Retrospectively reviewed our database of prospectively collected information for all patients with low and intermediate-grade LS-DAVFs that underwent EVT from May 2004 to December 2021.
