We describe the rare spontaneous resolution of a type 2a dural AVF that coincided with recanalization of the previously thrombosed sigmoid sinus after ten years of conservative management. The factors potentially responsible for spontaneous fistula obliteration are discussed and the therapeutic implication of this observation is considered.

Hemodynamic signs of coarctation of the aorta were present in a neonate dying in cardiac failure. A cerebral arteriovenous fistula was found at autopsy. No obstructive lesion of the aortic arch was present. Development of the aortic isthmus may be impaired if diminished flow through this segment is present. Reduced flow may be present if most of the systemic output is diverted to a fistula proximal to the isthmus, distal systemic flow being maintained by flow from right-to-left through the ductus arteriosus. Spontaneous duct closure after birth may then be followed by a reduction in distal systemic flow, resulting in signs suggestive of coarctation.
