Dural arteriovenous malformation involving the Galenic system and producing hydrocephalus.
The case of a man with a large arteriovenous malformation, fed by meningeal arteries and draining into the Galenic system is reported. Mental deterioration and gait ataxia were attributed to an associated noncommunicating hydrocephalus. The symptoms recurred two months after successful ventriculoatrial shunting.
