Abstract 248: Dural Arteriovenous Fistula a Vascular Case of Area Postrema Syndrome
Area postrema syndrome (APS) presents with intractable nausea, vomiting, and hiccups that last greater than 48 hours. It is most often associated with Neuromyelitis Optica (NMO), an autoimmune illness involving aquaporin‐4 antibodies. However, in theory any blood flow dysregulation to area postrema could be a cause of APS as this area mainly functions in osmoregulation. We present a case of APS secondary to a dural arteriovenous fistula (dAVF) confirmed on catheter angiogram and treated with microsurgical disconnection
