“…Though the true incidence of DAVF is unknown, the reported incidence is approximately 10-15% of all intracranial vascular malformations [1]. Clinical manifestations of intracranial DAVF are various including pulsatile tinnitus, orbital congestion, headache, intracranial hemorrhage or infarction [2]. However, there have been little reports about DAVFs manifested as rapidly progressive dementia [34].…”

A 43-year-old male presented with daytime sleepiness at work and indifferent behavior like never before. Two weeks prior to hospital admission, he had episodic memory loss with well preserved remote memory. Brain MRI showed a dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) in the right lateral transverse sinus with a bilateral thalamic venous infarction. Cerebral angiography confirmed a right transverse sigmoid dural arteriovenous fistula with a feeding artery of the right occipital artery and left posterior meningeal artery. The DAVF was completely eliminated through multiple endovascular interventions. Recently, endovascular treatment has become one of the main therapeutic options to obliterate a fistulous site, which has led to a rapid diagnostic approach and management of DAVFs with high curative rates. We report a rare case of posterior fossa located at a dural arteriovenous fistula that caused rapid progressive dementia and was successfully eliminated through only endovascular treatment.

“…There is an increased incidence of DAVFs in patients who previously suffered a sinus thrombosis, especially in patients with a lateral DAVF [1,2,22]. Head trauma, prior head surgery, infection or inflammation have been discussed in the literature as other possible causes of DAVFs [1,2].…”

“…The therapeutic options for DAVFs in general are endovascular treatment, microsurgical resection or stereotactic radiosurgery [2]. Microsurgical treatment of DAVFs has been reported to be safe and effective [2].…”

“…Endovascular therapy of DAVFs has become the most widely used treatment modality as it is considered to be a safe and effective method [2,32]. It can be performed as transvenous embolization, transarterial embolization or as a combination thereof but both have the same aim of occluding the point of the fistula [2,32].…”

“…Dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVF) are acquired pathological arteriovenous connections involving vessels that usually supply the meninges [1,2]. They are most commonly found in the posterior fossa and usually involve the transverse and sigmoid sinus [1,3,4].…”

Endovascular Treatment of Dural Arteriovenous Fistulas of the Anterior or Posterior Condylar Vein

Dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVF) involving the anterior and posterior condylar vein at the skull base are rare but important to recognize. Due to the highly variable anatomy of the venous system of the skull base, detailed anatomical knowledge is essential for correct diagnosis and appropriate treatment of these lesions. In this report we review the normal anatomy of the condylar veins and describe rare and, to our knowledge, not previously reported anatomical variants. We also highlight the treatment modalities for these lesions with focus on the endovascular transvenous occlusion based on four consecutive cases from our center.
