Objective To investigate the etiology and clinical symptoms of dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) and explore its diagnostic and treatment approaches. Method Of the 19 patients with DAVFs, 17 were examined by the microcather technique under close monitoring by cerebral digital substraction angiography (DSA), and were treated by embolization method with several prepared materials. The other 2 cases were managed by way of compression of the affected carotid artery. Results Of the 19 patients, 10 were cured, and the symptoms of 4 were significantly improved. Four patients showed gradual improvement after treatment, and 1 died. Conclusion The embolization method combined with compression of the affected carotid artery was effective in managing dural arteriovenous fistula.
