Recurrence of dural arteriovenous fistula in another location after selective transvenous coil embolization: report of two cases

AJNR Am J Neuroradiol. 2002 Apr;23(4):689-92.

Abstract

Two cases of a second dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF), both developing in different locations after selective transvenous embolization of the first DAVF, are presented. One recurrent DAVF developed on the sigmoid sinus 5 months after transvenous embolization of a DAVF in the paratransverse sinus channel, and the other recurrence developed around the jugular bulb 5 months after transvenous embolization of a cavernous DAVF. The former was obliterated by a second embolization, and the latter disappeared spontaneously at 20 months.
