  • Title: An isolated Sinus Intracranial Dural Arteriovenous Fistula with Unusual Drainage Pattern.
    Author: Su X, Song Z, Ma Y.
    Journal: World Neurosurg; 2024 Apr; 184():3-4. PubMed ID: 38159605.
    Abstract:
    Isolated sinus dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) involve a dural sinus with occlusion on both sides of the diseased sinus segment. Because of venous drainage refluxing from the isolated sinus into the cortical veins, all isolated sinus DAVFs are Borden type III or Cognard type Ⅲ/Ⅳ. Venous drainage typically involves temporo-occipital cortical veins or the superior petrosal sinus and tributaries of the petrosal vein. However, drainage veins involving the perimedullary venous system are extremely rare. Here, we present a case of Cognard type V isolated sinus DAVF successfully treated with balloon catheter and Onyx.
