title: Multiple dural arteriovenous fistulas involving the cavernous sinus, transverse sinus, sigmoid sinus and spinal drainage: CT angiography findings in 14-year-old boy.
abstract: Dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVF) are rare and constitute 10% to 15% of all intracranial arteriovenous malformations. Only few cases of DAVFs are reported in children. Here is the first case report describing CT angiographic findings in a 14 year old child having multiple DAVFs involving spinal canal, both cavernous and cerebral sinuses.
