The article presents a case study of a 23-year-old woman who was admitted to a local hospital due to severe headache for five days. Cerebral angiography showed a tentorial dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) and emergent cranial computed tomography (CT) scans revealed a right temporal mass typical of a hematoma. Removal of the hematoma and microsurgical disconnection of the shunt were regarded to be the treatment of choice.
