  • Title: Dural arteriovenous fistula involving the posterior condylar canal.
    Author: Kiyosue H, Okahara M, Sagara Y, Tanoue S, Ueda S, Mimata C, Mori H.
    Journal: AJNR Am J Neuroradiol; 2007 Sep; 28(8):1599-601. PubMed ID: 17846219.
    Abstract:
    Although dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) occur in any structure that is covered by the dura mater, DAVFs at the posterior condylar canal have not been reported. We present a DAVF that involves the posterior condylar canal and drains into the posterior condylar vein and the occipital sinus, which was treated by selective transvenous embolization. Knowledge of venous anatomy of the craniocervical junction and careful assessment of the location of the arteriovenous fistula can contribute to successful treatment.
