          Abstract

          Bleeding from a dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) typically occurs in the form of an intracerebral or subarachnoid hemorrhage. Here, we report a rare case of a DAVF with an acute subdural hematoma (ASDH). A 29-year-old male presented to the emergency department with a complaint of progressing headache and nausea, with no reported episode of head trauma. Non-contrast CT revealed a left ASDH with a moderate midline shift. Digital subtraction angiography revealed a DAVF on the left parietal convexity. The DAVF was fed by the middle meningeal artery and drained into the superior sagittal sinus and the sphenoparietal sinus via the diploic vein without cortical venous reflux. The DAVF was treated with transarterial embolization using 25% diluted n-butyl cyanoacrylate prior to hematoma removal. The bleeding point was confirmed on the inner surface of the dura mater. The patient recovered well without any neurological deficits.

          The validity of classification for the clinical presentation of intracranial dural arteriovenous fistulas.

          Rosie Coyne, Khaled J. Saleh, K G TerBrugge … (1996)
          A number of classification schemes for intracranial dural arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) have been published that claim to predict which lesions will present in a benign or aggressive fashion based on radiological anatomy. We have tested the validity of two proposed classification schemes for the first time in a large single-institution study. A series of 102 intracranial dural AVFs in 98 patients assessed at a single institution was analyzed. All patients were classified according to two grading scales: the more descriptive schema of Cognard, et al. (Cognard) and that recently proposed by Borden, et al. (Borden). According to the Borden classification, 55 patients were Type I, 18 Type II, and 29 Type III. Using the Cognard classification, 40 patients were Type I, 15 Type IIA, eight Type IIB, 10 Type IIA+B, 13 Type III, 12 Type IV, and four Type V. Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) or nonhemorrhagic neurological deficit was considered an aggressive presenting clinical feature. A total of 16 (16%) of 102 intracranial dural AVFs presented with hemorrhage. Eleven of these hemorrhages (69%) occurred in either anterior cranial fossa or tentorial lesions. When analyzed according to the Borden classification, none (0%) of 55 Type I intracranial dural AVFs, two (11%) of 18 Type II, and 14 (48%) of 29 Type III intracranial dural AVFs presented with hemorrhage (p < 0.0001). After exclusion of visual or cranial nerve deficits that were clearly related to cavernous sinus intracranial dural AVFs, nonhemorrhagic neurological deficits were a feature of presentation in one (2%) of 55 Type I, five (28%) of 18 Type II, and nine (31%) of 29 Type III patients (p < 0.0001). When combined, an aggressive clinical presentation (ICH or nonhemorrhagic neurological deficit) was seen most commonly in intracranial dural AVFs located in the tentorium (11 (79%) of 14) and the anterior cranial fossa (three (75%) of four), but this simply reflected the number of higher grade lesions in these locations. Aggressive clinical presentation strongly correlated with Borden types: one (2%) of 55 Type I, seven (39%) of 18 Type II, and 23 (79%) of 29 Type III patients (p < 0.0001). A similar correlation with aggressive presentation was seen with the Cognard classification: none (0%) of 40 Type I, one (7%) of 15 Type IIA, three (38%) of eight Type IIB, four (40%) of 10 Type IIA+B, nine (69%) of 13 Type III, 10 (83%) of 12 Type IV, and four (100%) of four Type V (p < 0.0001). No location is immune from harboring lesions capable of an aggressive presentation. Location itself only raises the index of suspicion for dangerous venous anatomy in some intracranial dural AVFs. The configuration of venous anatomy as reflected by both the Cognard and Borden classifications strongly predicts intracranial dural AVFs that will present with ICH or nonhemorrhagic neurological deficit.

            Dural arteriovenous fistula on the convexity presenting with pure acute subdural hematoma.

            Tomohiko Mizutani, M. Oishi, Amani T Mori … (2010)
            Non-traumatic dural arteriovenous fistula/malformation (dural AVF/AVM) presenting with pure subdural hematoma (SDH) is relatively rare. We report on a male patient who showed pure acute SDH and was diagnosed as having dural AVF on the convexity near the superior sagittal sinus (SSS), based on angiographic findings. A 27-year-old man was admitted to our hospital due to headache with acute onset. The patient did not have a history of head trauma or injury. Head CT showed an abnormal high-density area on the surface of the cerebral hemisphere on the left side, indicating acute SDH. Angiography during the arterial phase demonstrated that an abnormal artery originating from the left occipital artery was connected with a dural vein and a diploic vein on the convexity near the SSS. We concluded that a dural AVF existed at this area, and that the dural AVF had caused the acute SDH. Dural AVF/AVM which causes non-traumatic SDH is usually accompanied by intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and/or subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). In contrast, non-traumatic dural AVF/AVM presenting with pure SDH is rare, and our patient represents such a rare case. We should consider dural AVF/AVM and perform angiography if necessary when we encounter a patient showing non-traumatic SDH without ICH and/or SAH.

              Dural arteriovenous fistula presenting as an acute subdural hemorrhage that subsequently progressed to a chronic subdural hemorrhage: case report.

              S Kohyama, S Ishihara, F Yamane … (2009)
              Non-traumatic subdural hemorrhage (SDH) caused by dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) is rare and is usually accompanied by intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and/or subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). This report describes a very rare case of DAVF that caused non-traumatic acute SDH without ICH or SAH, which subsequently progressed into chronic SDH.
