Abstract
- Congenital dural arteriovenous shunt (DAVS) is a rare disease entity. A neonate diagnosed to have cystic mass in posterior fossa during prenatal sonography presented with heart failure and hydrocephalus. Cerebral angiography revealed a DAVS at the torcular herophili. Successful occlusion of feeders was achieved by staged transarterial embolizations, with subsequent improvement of heart failure. Transarterial embolization could be a successful treatment method in pediatric patients with congenital DAVS, in case of limited numbered feeders.
