  • Title: Transcranial embolization of a transverse-sigmoid sinus dural arteriovenous fistula carried out through a decompressive craniectomy.
    Author: Luo CB, Chang FC, Wu HM, Chung WY.
    Journal: Acta Neurochir (Wien); 2007 Feb; 149(2):197-200; discussion 200. PubMed ID: 17091209.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) of the transverse-sigmoid sinus presenting with intraventricular hemorrhage. Cerebellar infarction developed after transarterial embolization, and decompressive craniectomy was performed to relieve the mass effect. Through the bone window of the decompressive craniectomy, transcranial puncture of the transverse sinus and coil occlusion of the fistula were successfully performed. Decompressive craniectomy may provide an opportunity to occlude DAVFs which cannot be occluded by the transarterial or transvenous approach.
