Each of two patients presented with a dural arteriovenous fistula involving the transverse sinus. The sinus was thrombosed proximal and distal to the dural arteriovenous fistula with the venous drainage being retrograde through cortical veins. An ipsilateral percutaneous transjugular approach was used in both cases and allowed recanalization of the thrombosed sinus and embolization of the dural...

We present the first case of an arteriovenous fistula after an all-inside anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. A seventeen-year-old boy had an uneventful ACL reconstruction. Four weeks after surgery, the patient was seen with a pulsating swelling at the lateral distal upper leg. Vascular consultation led to the diagnosis of pseudoaneurysm and arteriovenous fistula of the lateral sup...

Congenital pulmonary arteriovenous fistulae, provided that they are not present in very large numbers, are best managed surgically, and there is no effective alternative management. Where pulmonary arteriovenous fistulae develop as a consequence of pulmonary hypertension it is rational to resect the fistulae if the cause of pulmonary hypertension - for example, mitral stenosis - is correctable....

Definitive clinical diagnosis of congenital pulmonary arteriovenous fistula is extremely difficult. In order to evaluate the diagnostic value of echocardiography, 2 cases with suspected pulmonary arteriovenous fistula were studied. In the first case, there was a solitary pulmonary arteriovenous fistula, while in the second multiple minute pulmonary arteriovenous fistulas were illustrated. The s...

common autosomal-dominant genetic disorders with an incidence of approximately 1:3,500. Vascular abnormalities associated with NF-1 include stenotic or occlusive diseases, aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations and, rarely, arteriovenous fistula (AVF). Association of arteriovenous fistula with NF-1 is rare with a few cases of vertebral AVF having been reported (1-3). Endovascular occlusion of t...

Coronary arteriovenous fistula is a rare congenital anomaly that is seen in 0.1 % to 0.2% of coronary angiograms. Aneurysmal formation in the fistula is even rarer. We report a case of congenital circumflex arteriovenous fistula with aneurysmal formation just near its termination in the pulmonary artery, associated with atherosclerotic left anterior descending coronary artery. The anomaly was s...

the possibility of abnormal avf was considered and it was confirmed on contrast-enhanced computed tomography (ct), inferring that this modality is not only fast and non-invasive, but also accurate in detecting vascular abnormalities. herein, we report a 42-year-old woman with congenital avf between the external carotid artery and external jugular vein, presenting with palpitation and dyspnea. t...

We report two rare and infrequent cases, one of a patient with Cognard type V tentorial dural fistula diagnosed at the beginning as trunk glioma in gait disturbance. And another Guillian Barré syndrome tetraparesis secondary to arteriovenous fistula.
