Dural Arteriovenous Fistula.
Publication/Presentation Date

Abstract
Dural arteriovenous fistulas are rare cerebrovascular lesions arising from abnormal connections between an artery and a vein. Though rare, high-grade aggressive lesions can cause hemorrhagic events and non-hemorrhagic neurologic deficits if left untreated. Treatment options vary based on angioarchitecture, location, and patient characteristics and range from conservative observation to palliative treatment, radiosurgery, endovascular embolization, and open surgery. The main goal of treatment is to obliterate flow through the abnormal connection and prevent further arterial flow to the venous system.
