Neurosurgery. 1997 Sep;41(3):673-5; discussion 675-6. doi: 10.1097/00006123-199709000-00033.

Abstract

Objective and importance: The development of a venous aneurysm associated with dural arteriovenous malformations rarely has been documented in the literature.

Clinical presentation: A 64-year-old man with known dural arteriovenous malformations developed a venous aneurysms, as shown on sequential angiograms obtained during 2 years.

Intervention: The dural arteriovenous malformations were treated with neuroendovascular embolization and then surgical excision.

Conclusion: The clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of this unusual case are presented.
