Abstract

Dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) are pathologic dural shunts characterized by meningeal arterial supply, absence of nidus and drainage to dural venous sinuses or cortical veins. They are usually acquired lesions associated with specific disease and inflammatory processes, including craniotomy. We report a case of postoperative DAVF in a 59 year-old male presenting with a ruptured distal right anterior cerebral artery aneurysm. After an uneventful microsurgery for clipping, meningitis occurred on the ninth day, and was successfully treated. The one-year control angiogram showed a left occipital DAVF. The relevant literature on the occurrence of DAVFs is also presented.

Resumo

Fístulas arteriovenosas durais (FAVDs) são comunicações patológicas caracterizadas por suprimento arterial meníngeo, ausência de nidus e drenagem para seios venosos durais ou veias corticais. As fístulas são geralmente adquiridas, secundárias a processos inflamatórios e doenças específicas, podendo ocorrer após craniotomia. Relatamos um caso de FAVD ocorrido em um homem de 59 anos de idade com aneurisma intracraniano roto em artéria cerebral anterior direita distal, submetido a microcirurgia e clipagem, e evoluindo com meningite pós-operatória. O paciente apresentou boa evolução, mas na angiografia de controle um ano após a cirurgia foi identificada FAVD em seio transverso-sigmoide esquerdo. Uma revisão da literatura focada na etiologia também é apresentada.
