Thaweesak AURBOONYAWAT (Thailand) describes the case of a 67-year-old woman suffering from an intolerable pulsatile sound in the left ear and a severe left occipital headache, but without any focal neurological deficit.
MRI findings showed no cortical venous reflux, leading to an initial diagnosis of a benign dural arteriovenous fistula (AVF).
The surgical team opted for transvenous balloon inflation combined with transarterial Onyx embolization to occlude the fistulas.
Unfortunately, significant complications arose after the treatment. Learn more about these complications and how they might have been prevented.
