An intracranial dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) consists of a meshwork of arteriovenous shunts. Drainage of the fistula may be into a dural sinus or directly into cortical veins. Rarely, DAVFs drain exclusively into perimedullary veins. Prompt diagnosis is important as the clinical course is potentially life-threatening.
