✓ The most common clinical presentations of dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) are bruit, headache, increased intracranial pressure, and intracranial hemorrhage. In particular locations, such as the cavernous sinus or middle cranial fossa, cranial nerve involvement due to dural arterial steal or venous occlusion may develop. A case in which a DAVF is associated with hearing loss, however, has not previously been reported. The authors report a case in which an intraosseous DAVF and associated hearing loss probably resulted from cochlear nerve or vascular compression caused by the draining vein or nidus of the DAVF.

We evaluated dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVF) drains into leptomeningeal vein (LMV) without the venous sinus interposition. This type of DAVF contained the extra-sinusal type DAVF and the DAVF with so-called pure leptomeningeal venous drainage (PLMVD). We studied 15 patients with DAVF that flows into LMVD without passing into the sinus. The subjects were 5 patients with DAVF in the anterior cranial fossa, 2 with DAVF in the tentorium cerebelli, and 3 with DAVF in the craniocervical junction as extra-sinusal type DAVF and 3 with DAVF in the transverse sigmoid sinus and 2 with DAVF in the superior sagittal sinus as DAVF with PLMVD. This type appears to take a very aggressive course. The arterial pressure of the shunt is directly applied to LMV, which causes bending and winding of the vein, eventually varices, inducing intracranial haemorrhage or venous ischemia in the LMV reflux area. Emergency treatment should be performed as soon as possible. Although it is recognized that interruption of the draining vein is very effective, treatment methods such as TAE, direct surgery, and g knife treatment, or their combinations should be carefully chosen for each case.
