Tentorial dural arteriovenous fistulae: endovascular treatment with transvenous coil embolisation

Neuroradiology. 1999 Apr;41(4):308-12. doi: 10.1007/s002340050754.

Abstract

Tentorial arteriovenous dural fistulae are uncommon. They are aggressive lesions: of all intracranial dural fistulae they are the most likely to present with haemorrhage. Treatment options include surgical excision or interruption of leptomeningeal draining veins and arterial embolisation in isolation or in combination with surgery. There has been one case report of treatment by percutaneous transvenous coil embolisation. We describe successful transvenous coil embolisation of two tentorial dural fistulae presenting with subarachnoid haemorrhage.
