Keyhole Endoscopic Approach for Clip Ligation of a Dural Arteriovenous Fistula Presenting with Trigeminal Neuralgia
Authors
Dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) may be associated with trigeminal neuralgia. These complex malformations in the posterior fossa are known for their intricate arterial supply and retrograde venous drainage patterns. When trans-arterial endovascular treatment is unsuccessful, surgical clip ligation can be successfully performed. In this case, a retrosigmoid keyhole craniotomy and solely endoscopic visualization prove advantageous for treating this petrosal DAVF, including for managing intraoperative rupture, with good resolution of the clinical symptoms.
