Dural arteriovenous fistula involving superior petrosal sinus with petrosal venous drainage in association with cerebral venous thrombosis: Literature review and illustrative case

Background: Dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) involving superior petrosal sinus (SPS) and superior petrosal vein (SPV) are extremely rare. The pathogenesis of these fistulas remains unclear. We are illustrating 2 cases of DAVFs involving the superior petrosal sinus and veins associated with venou...

description Background: Dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) involving superior petrosal sinus (SPS) and superior petrosal vein (SPV) are extremely rare. The pathogenesis of these fistulas remains unclear. We are illustrating 2 cases of DAVFs involving the superior petrosal sinus and veins associated with venous sinus thrombosis with a literature review. Methods: We reviewed the literature using the PRISMA (preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses) guidelines focusing on DAVFs involving the SPS and/or SPV. Additionally, we searched for additional articles through the reference lists of the included studies. Results: Our review yielded 20 articles from 1997 until 2022 involving 33 patients with 34 fistulas, including our 2 patients. The mean age was 55.1 ± 12.9 years (range 25–85), 54.5% were males (n = 18). The patients presented with hemorrhage in 36.4% (n = 12), and progressive myelopathy in 30.3% (n = 10). Most fistulas often had arterial supply from MMA, MHT, and/or OA. The fistulas had infratentorial drainage in 64.71% (n = 22), supratentorial drainage in 23.53% (n = 8), and both supra and infratentorial drainage in 11.76% (n = 4). In 27.3% (n = 9), cerebral venous thrombosis was mentioned or identified. Endovascular treatment was performed in 47.1% of cases (n = 16), surgery in 29.4% (n = 10), and combination of treatments in 23.5% (n = 8). A total of 30.3% (n = 10) of cases had incomplete recovery or poor result. Conclusion: DAVFs involving the SPS and/or SPV are associated with aggressive natural history, requiring early diagnosis and prompt treatment, leading to good prognosis. These fistulas may be acquired in origin, probably secondary to cerebral venous thrombosis.
