The blood supply to the region of the cavernous sinus is provided by interconnecting branches of the internal and external carotid arteries, and it is from these vessels that dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) arise. It is very rare that DAVFs are located at the intercavernous sinuses region; in this case, a proper localization of the fistulous site is of extreme importance in order to successfully eliminate the disease. Here, we describe a case of a 65-year-old female with intercavernous sinus DAVF. A complete obliteration of the fistulous points was performed by coil embolization through a transvenous approach.
