Abstract
Isolated cases of dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) have been reported by some authors (Verbiest 1951; Obrador and Urquiza 1952). Progressive identification and precise description of this pathology came at the end of the 1960s, especially after selective and super-selective angiographic studies (Hayes 1963; Laine et al. 1963; Newton et al. 1968; Newton and Hoyt 1970; Djindjian et al. 1968, 1973).
