Transvenous Coil Embolization for Dural Arteriovenous Fistula of the Anterior Condylar Confl uence – a Case Report
Journal Title: Nepal Journal of Neuroscience - Year 2018, Vol 15, Issue 2
Abstract
Dural arteriovenous fi stula (DAVF) of the anterior condylar confl uence (ACC) is a rare entity accounting for about 3.6% of all DAVFs. We report on a 63-year-old male patient who presented with pulsatile tinnitus. Angiography revealed a DAVF supplied mainly by neuromeningeal branches of bilateral ascending pharyngeal arteries and draining into the ACC. Transvenous transjugular coil embolization was performed resulting in complete obliteration of the fi stula and resolution of the symptoms. Due to the complexity of this venous structure at the skull base, detailed angiographic study is crucial for proper therapeutic planning and management of the patient. We here discuss the clinico-radiological features and various treatment modalities of the ACC DAVF
