Spinal dural arteriovenous (AV) fistulas are the most commonly encountered vascular malformation of the spinal cord and a treatable cause for progressive paraplegia or tetraplegia. They most commonly affected are elderly men and are classically found in the thoracolumbar region.Symptoms gradually progress or decline in a stepwise manner and are commonly associated with pain and sphincter disturbances. Surgical or endovascular disconnection of the fistula has a high success rate with a low rate of morbidity. Motor symptoms are most likely to improve after treatment, followed by sensory disturbances, and lastly sphincter disturbances.

Intracerebral hemorrhage is a devastating form of stroke and is more common in patients with hypertension and renal disease. We present the case of a lady suffering from chronic kidney disease who presented with severe headache and aphasia. On evaluation, she was found to have an intraparenchymal hemorrhage in the left temporal lobe with prominent pial and dural veins suggestive of a dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF). Subsequently, she was detected to have occlusion of the left brachiocephalic vein (LBCV), which resulted in venous hypertension and resulted in this rare complication. Angioplasty followed by stenting of the LBCV resulted in subsidence of her symptoms. We wish to highlight this unusual but treatable complication of limb AV fistula which can mimic intracranial DAVF.

Abstract This case is a 66-yr-old woman with a 2-mo history of left-sided tinnitus. Workup with magnetic resonance angiography showed early opacification of the left sigmoid sinus and internal jugular vein as well as asymmetric and abundant opacification of the left external carotid artery branches, suspicious for a dural arteriovenous fistula (dAVF). Diagnosis was confirmed with cerebral angiography, consistent with a left-sided Cognard type I dAVF.1 Initial treatment attempt was made with transarterial 6% ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (Onyx 18) embolization of feeders from the occipital and middle meningeal arteries. However, embolization was not curative and there was a recurrence of a highly bothersome tinnitus 3 wk following treatment. Angiography redemonstrated the transverse sinus dAVF with new recruitment arising from several feeders, including the left external carotid artery, middle meningeal artery, and superficial temporal artery, now Cognard type IIa. Definitive treatment through a transvenous coil embolization provided permanent obliteration of the fistula without recrudescence of symptoms on follow-up. In this video, the authors discuss the nuances of treating a dAVF via a transvenous embolization. Patient consent was given prior to the procedure, and consent and approval for this operative video were waived because of the retrospective nature of this manuscript and the anonymized video material.
