Background There is no consensus as to whether balloon angioplasty alone or stent placement is effective for sinus occlusion associated with dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF). Herein, we first report a case of transverse sinus occlusion associated with DAVF in which gradual sinus dilatation was observed after balloon angioplasty with embolization of the affected sinus with shunt flow. Case presentation A 69-year-old man presented with executive dysfunction. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed left transverse sinus–sigmoid sinus DAVF with occlusion of the left jugular vein and right transverse sinus. Before endovascular treatment, the patient had symptomatic epilepsy and subarachnoid hemorrhage. Retrograde leptomeningeal venous drainage disappeared with packing of the left transverse sinus–sigmoid sinus. Subsequently, balloon angioplasty of the right occluded transverse sinus was performed to maintain the normal venous drainage and remaining shunt outflow. Dilatation of the right transverse sinus was poor immediately after surgery. However, angiography after 10 days and 6 months revealed gradual dilatation of the right transverse sinus. Conclusion Sinus occlusion, which is thought to be caused by sinus hypertension associated with DAVF rather than chronic organized thrombosis or thrombophilia, may dilate over time after balloon angioplasty and shunt flow reduction if occluded sinus is necessary for facilitating normal venous drainage.

Therapeutic Implication

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.

This 63-year-old man presented with a right temporoparietal cortical infarction. A dural arteriovenous fistula involving the right transverse sinus was diagnosed on cerebral angiography. Transvenous embolization using detachable coils was performed; however, postembolization angiograms demonstrated retrograde filling of a cortical draining vein that was not seen on initial angiography. The patient subsequently developed a cerebral abscess in the region of the previous cortical infarction 2 months after the embolization. The abscess was successfully treated with drainage and antibiotic therapy. The authors report this case to illustrate an unusual complication associated with this procedure and the possible contribution of the cortical draining vein in the pathogenesis of the cerebral abscess.

Abstract A 65-yr-old male presented 2 mo after an episode of acute-onset headache associated with altered mental status. Imaging workup with cerebral angiography revealed a Cognard type IV right-sided transverse-sigmoid junction dural arteriovenous fistula (dAVF). The patient was treated with endovascular embolization of several pedicles from the middle meningeal (MMA) and occipital arteries. Residual filling and cortical venous reflux were noted on follow-up imaging. Therefore, definitive treatment of the persistent fistula was offered with a combined open and endovascular embolization approach.1 This would provide direct access into the sinus followed by embolization of the fistula. In the accompanying video, we present the case in detail and provide a discussion of the rational and treatment nuances associated with this approach.  Patient consent was given prior to the procedure and consent and approval for this operative video were waived due to the retrospective nature of this manuscript and the anonymized video material.
