Abstract

Dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) are abnormal communications between meningeal arteries and dural venous sinuses and/or cortical veins. Although many fistulas are benign and do not require treatment, some may carry a significant risk of bleeding or cause symptoms and warrant treatment. This review provides a review of various aspects of intracranial DAVFs including epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, imaging characteristics, classification, natural history, and management options. By exploring these topics, we aim to enhance understanding of this condition and facilitate patient care. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
