“…Likewise, there are very few case series reporting dural arteriovenous fistulae (DAVF) in this population. Fifty-nine pediatric cases have been detailed in the literature to date [21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49]. To the best of our knowledge, the presentation of an infant with both a DAVF and an intracranial aneurysm is unique in the literature.…”

An Intracranial Aneurysm and Dural Arteriovenous Fistula in a Newborn

et al. 2010

The authors present the case of a newborn with an intracerebral aneurysm and a dural arteriovenous fistula. The patient initially presented with intraventricular hemorrhage and hydrocephalus, with evidence of remote subarachnoid hemorrhage, left hemispheric stroke, and sagittal sinus thrombosis. He was treated with a ventriculoperitoneal shunt and subsequent staged endovascular obliteration of both the aneurysm and fistula. Interestingly, the aneurysm did not appear on an artery feeding the abnormal fistula. Intracerebral aneurysms in the neonatal population are rare, and dural arteriovenous fistulae even more so; we present a case of a 2-month-old infant with both, as well as a review of the literature concerning these rare vascular abnormalities.

“…1,4,[6][7][8][9][10][11]13,14,18,19,21,23,26,27) The presentation in childhood may involve cranial bruit, heart failure, dilated scalp veins, macrocephaly, hydrocephalus, delayed neurological development, seizure, and focal neurological deficits, which are distinct from the adult symptoms. Congenital dural arteriovenous fistulas can be divided into three subgroups: dural sinus malformation (DSM) with arteriovenous shunt (AVS), infantile-type dural AVS, and adult-type dural AVS.…”

A boy was born at 36 weeks gestation weighing 2,135 g, with a prenatal diagnosis of dural sinus malformation with arteriovenous shunts. Congestive heart failure and anuria at birth prompted emergency intervention. Transfemoral-transvenous coil embolization was performed on day 1, resulting in partial occlusion of the huge venous pouch with a total length of 2,355 cm of detachable coils. Transarterial glue embolization on days 7, 23, and 42 was required due to persistent heart failure. Transarterial embolization was performed by common carotid puncture because the transfemoral route could not be used due to the small size and compromised blood flow of the femoral artery. Transarterial embolization reduced the arteriovenous shunts markedly and resulted in clinical improvement. Early treatment of a high flow dural arteriovenous fistula in a low birth weight neonate can achieve an excellent result with an acceptable neurological outcome.

“…Dural arteriovenous malformation (DAVM) can cause clinical signs and symptoms including pulsatile noise and tinnitus, headache, focal neurological deficits, increased intracranial pressure, intracranial haemorrhages, seizures and neuropsychological disturbances [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]. DAVM can be associated with dementia in about 12% of the cases [10, 11, 12].…”

We report two patients aged 65 and 61 years, who presented a subacute dementia with normal CT scan without contrast injection. Angiography showed a dural arteriovenous malformation. The patients improved dramatically with treatment of the malformation. Dementia was characterised by frontal dysfunction, emotional disorders, mnesic and praxic impairment. This neuropsychological pattern suggests a profile of global dementia in the field of vascular dementia.
