Table 2.
Identified cases with dural arteriovenous fistula in vein of Galen malformation. In Cases 1-7, the fistula was identified in the initial angiogram and Cases 2 and 3 developed more extensive dural fistulization after embolization. In cases 8-26 the DAVF was identified after embolization. The location, feeders, embolization details, result and outcome are shown.
