Abstract
Dural arteriovenous fistulas (dAVFs) have recently been recognized as resulting from several acquired factors, such as venous sinus thrombosis, intravenous hypertension, head injury and surgery. Although cases of post-operative dAVF have been reported, most of these lesions have been located close to the operation site. However, we encountered a case of multiple dAVFs that developed distant to the preceding surgery. This report discusses the pathogenesis of post-operative dAVFs and reviews the literature concerning the treatment of dAVFs occurring at the skull base.
