Abstract
Dural Arteriovenous Fistulas (AVF) represent about 10% of all intracranial vascular lesions. Although they seem benign in nature, the presence of retrograde venous makes them aggressive, with a high risk of complications. Patients may be clinically asymptomatic or experience symptoms ranging from mild to severe hemorrhage, depending on their location. Different treatments are available, but recently, the development of catheter intervention allows most patients to be cured with transcatheter embolization. Stereotactic radiosurgery achieves excellent rates of obliteration for low-grade lesions. In this review, we try to highlight the recent advances in the management of dural AVF.
