Intracerebral Hemorrhage Hydrocephalus malresorptivus Peripheral Nerves

Part of the book series: Advances in Neurosurgery ((NEURO,volume 21))

Abstract

Approximately 10%—15% of intracranial arteriovenous malformations originate from arteries that supply the dura mater [13, 27]. Mostly they drain into the transverse, sigmoid, or cavernous sinuses. Patients often have benign symptomatology with headache or pulsatile tinnitus [2], About 50 cases of dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) involving the base of the anterior cranial fossa which have been published so far seem to form a distinct subgroup with an unusually high incidence of intracranial hemorrhage [1, 7, 8, 10, 12, 14–19, 22, 28, 31–35, 37, 40, 41]. We report on eight further patients.
