Abstract

The authors report the case of a 38-year-old woman with a cavernous DAVF resulting in edematous lesions located in the territory of the ipsilateral basal vein. Transarterial embolization led to subtotal regression of the fistula associated with the regression of cerebral abnormalities. The authors discuss the pathophysiology of the cerebral edematous lesions and the therapeutic consequences according to the venous drainage of the cavernous sinus.
