    Abstract:
    A 66-year-old man suffered from subarachnoid hemorrhage due to the rupture of a right middle cerebral artery aneurysm that was detected by 3D-CTA. He underwent an emergent clipping operation. Incidentally, postoperative DSA demonstrated dural arteriovenous fistula in the left anterior cranial fossa, which was fed by the left anterior ethmoidal artery and drained into the superior sagittal sinus via the cortical vein of the left frontal lobe. We performed electrocoagulation and division of the fistula at the second surgery. Subsequently, he underwent a ventriculo-peritoneal shunt and was discharged without any neurological deficits. We reviewed reported cases of rare association of ruptured cerebral aneurysm and dural arteriovenous fistula in the left anterior cranial fossa.
