Parasagittal and Superior Sagittal Sinus Dural Arteriovenous Fistulas: Clinical Presentations, Imaging Characteristics, and Treatment Strategies.

ABSTRACT:

Background and purpose

Parasagittal and superior sagittal sinus (SSS) dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) are often inappropriately classified. We explore the clinical presentations, imaging characteristics, and endovascular treatment strategies of these 2 DAVF subtypes.

Materials and methods

Clinical and imaging data of 19 patients with SSS or parasagittal sinus DAVFs who underwent endovascular treatment in our institution between 2017 and 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The angiographic findings, endovascular treatment strategies, and angiographic outcomes were evaluated and recorded.

Results

Among these 19 patients, 14 had a parasagittal DAVF, 4 had a SSS DAVF, and 1 patient had both parasagittal and SSS DAVF. Only 1 (1/19, 5.26%) patient presented with intrac
