Abstract
- Dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) is an arteriovenous shunt in the dural wall that accounts for approximately 10% of cerebral arteriovenous malformations. Endovascular embolization is the primary treatment for DAVF if surgical treatment is contraindicated in a high-risk patient. However, it is often difficult to completely obliterate the fistula using endovascular embolization, and complications often arise from this procedure. Stereotactic radiosurgery has recently emerged as an effective and safe treatment option for DAVF and has demonstrated acceptable clinical outcomes.
