title: Progressive subcortical calcifications secondary to venous hypertension in an intracranial dural arteriovenous fistula.
abstract: Intracranial dural arteriovenous fistulas (dAVF) are acquired lesions, with the most commonly reported findings on CT haemorrhage or focal oedema. We describe a case of progressive subcortical calcification on CT secondary to venous hypertension from a high grade dAVF.
