[Tentorium cerebellum fistula. Diagnosis and treatment].
Among the 17 intracranial dural fistulae treated in the Department of Neuroradiology of the University Hospital of Coimbra (17 patients, 28 embolizations) between 19/10/98 and 20/11/2000, 4 cases (23%) were located on the tentorium cerebelli. Three patients were men aged 45, 53 and 56 years old. The remaining patient was an 85-year-old woman. All 4 patients were treated by embolization. One underwent post embolization surgical interruption of the draining vein. The authors analyse clinical presentation, complementary tests, therapy and outcome.
