  • Title: Dural arteriovenous fistula presenting as brainstem ischaemia.
    Author: Lagares A, Perez-Nuñez A, Alday R, Ramos A, Campollo J, Lobato RD.
    Journal: Acta Neurochir (Wien); 2007; 149(9):965-7; discussion 967. PubMed ID: 17659371.
    Abstract:
    Dural arteriovenous fistulas presenting with ascending myelopathy are characterised by the presence of an abnormal retrograde drainage through spinal veins. The authors present a case of cranial dural arteriovenous fistula causing brainstem dysfunction secondary to venous hypertension, treated by surgical interruption of the pial venous drainage which resulted in complete clinical and radiological resolution of the brainstem lesion.
