Contralateral Transverse Sinus Occlusion After Treatment of Transverse-Sigmoid Sinus Dural Arteriovenous Fistula: A Case Report.

A dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) is a pathologic arteriovenous shunt located within the dural wall of a venous sinus. In addition, DAVFs are associated with sinus thrombosis. Consequently, sinus occlusion may occur near DAVF lesions, making treatment challenging. However, there are few reports of sinus occlusion unrelated to lesions. In this study, we present a rare case of contralateral transverse sinus occlusion in a patient who underwent endovascular treatment and stereotactic radiosurgery for DAVF in the transverse-sigmoid sinus with ipsilateral sigmoid sinus occlusion.
