Spinal dural arteriovenous fistulas (sDAVFs) are rather uncommon lesions of the spine. In sDAVFs, which represent the most frequent form of vascular malformations of the spine, operative treatment remains the most common treatment modality. In operative surgery, visualization and pathology detection have a key impact on the results of the neurosurgical treatment of an sDAVF.

Research Question: The goal of this study was to assess the diagnostic accuracy of spinal time-resolved contrast-enhanced MR angiography (4D-MRA) for the detection and localization of spinal dural arteriovenous fistulas (SDAVF) in our institution.
Material And Methods: Single center retrospective cohort study of patients with the clinical suspicion of a SDAVF. Patients were included who had undergone spinal 4D-MRA in the period January 2010-February 2021.

Background: Craniocervical junction dural arteriovenous fistulas (CCJ-DAVFs) are rare and complex vascular malformations that are challenging to diagnose and treat. This study aims to compare surgical and endovascular treatments for CCJ-DAVFs through a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted according to the PRISMA guidelines.

We report the management of a convexity dural arteriovenous fistula (dAVF) in an uncommon anterior superior sagittal sinus (SSS) location. This was a high-risk Cognard IIa+b dAVF, which is notoriously complex to treat. Endoscopic management alone for complex SSS dAVFs is challenging due to the often bilateral arterial supply to the fistula, as demonstrated in this case.

Study Design: Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
Objective: This study aims to compare the efficacy and safety of surgical and endovascular treatments for SDAVFs.
Summary Of Background Data: Spinal dural arteriovenous fistulas (SDAVFs) result from an abnormal connection between the radiculomeningeal artery and the radicular vein, leading to venous hypertension and potential neurological damage.
