Current therapeutic methods of dural arteriovenous malformation: are there any alternatives? Two case reports of infratentorial AVM's.
We describe two cases of infratentorial dural AVM, in which a successful surgical intervention was performed. This procedure was chosen as the repeated treatment by embolization proved to be ineffective. Theories as to the pathogenesis of dural AVM, the current treatment as well as options for new therapies are presented.
