Dural AVM supplied by the ophthalmic artery

Br J Neurosurg. 2007 Aug;21(4):414-6. doi: 10.1080/02688690701411590.

Abstract

Dural arteriovenous malformations in the anterior cranial fossa are rare and are especially prone to haemorrhage. These lesions are usually treated by surgical excision. We report the embolization of an anterior cranial fossa DAVM using an endovascular approach via the ophthalmic artery.
