Dural arteriovenous fistulas of superior sagittal sinus: case report and review of literature.
A case report and review of the literature of 16 dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) involving the superior sagittal sinus region are presented. In our case, magnetic resonance angiography detected the DAVF with multiple arterial feeding vessels from both external carotid arteries. The patient was successfully treated endovascularly, with complete occlusion of arterial feeders and a total resolution of symptoms.
