The authors report the unique case of a patient with a thoracic spinal dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) causing remote brainstem symptoms of positional vomiting and minimal vertigo. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of the brain demonstrated high signal abnormality in the medulla, presumably related
BACKGROUND
Symptomatic sinus occlusion complicated with dural arteriovenous fistulas (dAVFs) can be treated successfully endovascularly. However, no studies have reported the use of endovascular transvenous approaches alone to recanalize the occluded sinuses for treatment of the involved dAVFs
OBJECTIVE
Bilateral upper cerebellar hemorrhage is extremely rare clinical entity but relatively known as postoperative neurosurgical complication with as-yet unknown etiology. Here, we report a case of bilateral upper cerebellar hemorrhage due to pial arteriovenous fistula (pAVF) and discuss the
Liz... Josiane, a 9 year old girl, was admitted with a 24 hours history of severe headache and vomiting. On admission she was conscious, irritable and complained of a severe headache. Clinical examination revealed a right hemiparesis with cyanosis of the lips and extremities and clubbing of the
BACKGROUND
Intracranial pial arteriovenous fistulas (pAVFs) are rare vascular lesions only recently considered distinct from arteriovenous malformations. Conservative management was associated with a high mortality rate. The abnormality of the lesion arises from its high-flow nature. The authors
We report an extremely rare case of dural arteriovenous fistula(DAVF)involving the superior sagittal sinus(SSS)that presented as a primary intraventricular hemorrhage(PIVH). A 79-year-old man who presented with disturbance of consciousness and vomiting was transferred to our hospital. The initial
Arteriovenous fistula is a common vascular abnormality of spinal cord and meninges. This disease is more common in young men. Clinical manifestation includes progressive sensitive and motor disorders. However, acute symptoms including impaired consciousness, head or back pain are also possible. The
BACKGROUND
Usually, cavernous dural arteriovenous fistula can be treated via transarterial approaches. However, in many complicated patients, transvenous approaches are superior to the transarterial ones because of the difficulties during a transarterial operation. In this study, we retrospectively
A case is reported here of brain abscess due to Streptococcus sanguis in association with multiple pulmonary arteriovenous fistulas. A 19-year-old male who had been diagnosed in 1988 as pulmonary arteriovenous fistulas was admitted to our hospital for repeated epistaxis, headache, and vomiting. A
We report a case of dural arteriovenous fistula of the transverse-sigmoid sinus (TS-DAVF) with intraventricular hemorrhage. An 83-year-old woman presented with headache and vomiting. Neurological examination showed no defects. CT scans demonstrated intraventricular hemorrhage. Left external carotid
CONCLUSIONS
A rare paediatric case ofvertebrovertebral arteriovenous fistula presented with a subarachnoid haemorrhage. A 12 year-old boy, who fell on his back at school, presented with a one week history of headache, vomiting, and double vision. Computed tomography (CT) scan revealed subarachnoid
A case of traumatic arteriovenous fistula of the superior mesenteric vessels is added to a collective review of 16 previous cases. Nausea, vomiting, cramping abdominal pain, diarrhea, abdominal thrill and bruit were usually present. Arteriography was diagnostic. Four patients operated upon
Intracranial pial arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) are rare vascular lesions of the brain. These lesions consist of one or more arterial connection to a single venous channel without true intervening nidus. A 24-year-old woman visited to our hospital because of headache, vomiting, dizziness and memory
The authors reported an interesting case of the traumatic middle meningeal arteriovenous fistula which was caused by the minor head injury on the opposite side complicated with a subarachnoid hematoma, and was completely cured 35 days after head injury without any surgical intervention. A
Spinal dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVF) are usually associated with neurological dysfunction adjacent to the shunt point; however, the symptoms are uncommon far from the site of fistula. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a patient with rapidly progressive isolated
