Vascular anomalies known as dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) occur when arteries that emerge from carotid or vertebral artery branches empty straight into the dural venous sinuses. A 16-year-old male patient at the center of this case study initially arrived at the hospital with symptoms of generalized tonic-clonic seizures and headaches accompanied by vomiting, followed by right-sided hemiparesis and subsequently left-sided hemiparesis. An MRI brain with MR angiography was performed, revealing an abnormal fistulous connection between the sigmoid and transverse sinus and the branches of the bilateral external carotid and right internal carotid artery. Embolization was performed using a mixture of glue and lipoid to address the issue.

Angioarchitecture and Endovascular Therapy of Infantile Dural Arteriovenous Fistulas.

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.

Dural Venous Sinus Thrombosis: A Rare Cause of Intracranial Hemorrhage.

Radiology, AdventHealth Orlando, Orlando, USA.

Dural venous sinus thrombosis, a subset of cerebral venous thrombosis, is an important pathology due to its significant morbidity and mortality. This process has an annual incidence of three to five cases per million adults. Although copious predisposing factors exist, the core principles revolve around Virchow's triad: venous stasis, hypercoagulability, and vascular endothelial damage.

An in vitro experimental study on the synergistic pathogenicity analysis of pulsatile tinnitus involving venous flow velocity, sigmoid sinus wall dehiscence and sinus malformation.

Key Laboratory of Biomechanics and Mechanobiology (Beihang University), Ministry of Education, Beijing Advanced Innovation Center for Biomedical Engineering, School of Biological Science and Medical Engineering, Beihang University, Beijing, 100083, China; School of Engineering Medicine, Beihang University, Beijing, 100083, China.

Pulsatile tinnitus (PT) is synchronous with patients' heartbeat, with various reported intracranial etiologies. Sigmoid sinus wall dehiscence (SSWD), sinus malformation and high venous flow velocity were common marks of PT and were generally treated as independent etiology in clinic, but their coupling effect remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the synergistic pathogenicity of these etiologies.

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.
