Abstract:
We present a case of dural arteriovenous fistula (dAVF) within the wall of the superior sagittal sinus(SSS) presenting with chronic headache. Transfemoral arterial embolization was tried but failed because of tortuous middle meningeal artery (MMA) feeders preventing the microcatheter from reaching the fistula closely enough. A small craniectomy was performed to directly puncture the feeder close to the SSS, and then glue occlusion of the dAVF through the directly catheterized MMA was successfully accomplished.
