Excerpt

Arnautovic et al. [1] termed the venous structures surrounding the extraspinal segment of the vertebral artery (VA; V3) the suboccipital cavernous sinus (SCS) [1, 4]. We experienced a rare dural arteriovenous fistula (AVF) involving the SCS, which differed from dural AVFs involving the anterior condylar confluence (ACC). Here we present a case of SCS dural AVF with pulsatile tinnitus treated by transvenous embolization (TVE). …
