Intracerebral atypical calcification in nongalenic pial arteriovenous fistula: a case report
Nongalenic intradural arteriovenous fistulas, although uncommon, are clinically important. Choosing the appropriate therapeutic approach has been a controversial issue within the last decade. A 15-year-old male was presented with a calcified nongalenic arteriovenous fistula in the left parietal regi...

description | Nongalenic intradural arteriovenous fistulas, although uncommon, are clinically important. Choosing the appropriate therapeutic approach has been a controversial issue within the last decade. A 15-year-old male was presented with a calcified nongalenic arteriovenous fistula in the left parietal region, supplied by the left middle cerebral artery, and draining into the left lateral sinus. The patient was managed surgically with traditional clipping the feeder artery, along with piecemeal resection of the huge calcified mass. Although endovascular methods may be the treatments of choice in similar cases, in such huge calcified lesion, non-amenable to endovascular occlusion, open surgery seems to be preferred. |
