Prenatal MR imaging of dural sinus malformation: a case report

Abstract

Prenatal MR imaging is useful to establish the diagnosis, to assess complications such as hydrocephalus and tonsillar prolapse, and to help plan perinatal management, postnatal follow-up, and treatment decision-making.

Thrombosed Dural Sinus Malformation in a Fetus: A Case Report

“…Of the 31 reported patients, 6 underwent surgical intervention including embolization for AVF, surgical derivation for major hydrocephalus, craniotomy for evacuation of the hematoma, and decompression . Patients treated by embolization or surgical derivation had a favorable prognosis, while those who underwent craniotomy or decompression had an unfavorable prognosis . Infants with hydrocephalus or circulatory insufficiency due to AVF died in the absence of surgical treatment ,…”

An Intracranial Aneurysm and Dural Arteriovenous Fistula in a Newborn

“…Likewise, there are very few case series reporting dural arteriovenous fistulae (DAVF) in this population. Fifty-nine pediatric cases have been detailed in the literature to date [21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49]. To the best of our knowledge, the presentation of an infant with both a DAVF and an intracranial aneurysm is unique in the literature.…”

Dural sinus malformation presenting with seizure and treated by combined arterial and venous embolization

“…It is characterized by a giant dural sinus lake associated with slow flow arteriovenous fistulae 1,2,3 .…”
