    Abstract:
    We present here an interesting case of multiple dural arteriovenous shunts (dAVS) in different locations at the same time. There have been very few reports on multiple dAVS. A 63-year-old man was admitted with a sudden onset of headache and vomiting. CT scan showed a typical subarachnoid hemorrhage (Fisher Group 3). Cerebral angiogram (6 vessel study) revealed two dural arteriovenous shunts at the same time. One was located on the anterior fossa fed by the anterior ethmoidal artery, and the other was located on the posterior fossa near the marginal sinus fed by the left ascending pharyngeal and occipital arteries. At first, transarterial embolization was performed for dAVS located on the posterior fossa. Radical operation was performed for both anterior and posterior fossa dAVS. Both dAVS had disappeared on postoperative angiograms.
