Dural arteriovenous fistula mimicking a stroke: A misdiagnosis of two months

We present a case of a 70-year-old male who presented with left-sided weakness and dysarthria. Cranial imaging was suggestive of a cerebellar infarct and the patient was treated with aspirin and clopidogrel. Two months later a fall prompted further cranial imaging, which was concerning for an intracranial mass with vasogenic edema. Computed tomography angiogram (CTA) was negative for vascular lesion. Ultimately, a DSA revealed a Borden III dAVF between the right occipital artery and the posterior cerebellar vein that was treated with endovascular embolization.

Abstract

We present a case of a 70-year-old male who presented with left-sided weakness and dysarthria. Cranial imaging was suggestive of a cerebellar infarct and the patient was treated with aspirin and clopidogrel. Two months later a fall prompted further cranial imaging, which was concerning for an intracranial mass with vasogenic edema. Computed tomography angiogram (CTA) was negative for vascular lesion. Ultimately, a DSA revealed a Borden III dAVF between the right occipital artery and the posterior cerebellar vein that was treated with endovascular embolization.
