  • Title: Dural arteriovenous fistula at the foramen magnum: Report of a case and clinical-anatomical review.
    Author: Llácer JL, Suay G, Piquer J, Vazquez V.
    Journal: Neurocirugia (Astur); 2016; 27(4):199-203. PubMed ID: 26949168.
    Abstract:
    Arterial supply and venous drainage at the foramen magnum is variable. Two main forms of clinical presentation, intracranial and spinal, can be differentiated when a dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) is found at this level. We describe a case of a 68-year-old patient with a progressive paraparesis, diagnosed of dural arteriovenous fistula located at the posterior lip of foramen magnum. We review, in this setting, the vascular radiological anatomy of those fistulas and its important correlation with neurologic clinical symptoms.
