Dural arteriovenous fistula caused by jugular vein stenosis--case report.

A 32-year-old female presented with a dural arteriovenous fistula in the transverse-sigmoid sinus caused by stenosis of the left internal jugular vein. The feeding arteries were embolized, resulting in nearly complete disappearance of the fistula. This case supports the idea that dural arteriovenous fistula is an acquired lesion caused by intravenous hypertension.
