Abstract:
Intracranial dural arteriovenous fistula accounts for 10% to 15% of intracranial arteriovenous malformations. It may cause intracranial hemorrhage or other neurological deficits, but its clinical manifestations are lack of specific, the changes of CT and MRI are not typical, and it is easily to be ignored and missed or delayed. Clinicians' awareness of the disease and the high resolution imaging examinations are critical for rapid and accurate diagnosis. Timely treatment may prevent death or disability. This article reviews the relevant literature in order to improve the understanding of intracranial dural arteriovenous fistula, to be diagnosed early and treated appropriately.
