Dural Arteriovenous Fistula (DAVF): A Rare Cause of Hypoestesia – A Case Report and Review of the Literature

TABLE OF CONTENT

Abstract

ABSTRACT

DAVF is a rare acquired entity which can present with a wide spectrum ranging from a mild course to life-threatening conditions. The uncommon risk factor among classifications of DVAF is the presence of cortical venous reflux. Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is to make a gold standard diagnosis and treatment. In our case , we wanted to contribute to the daily practice by showing the place of this lesion in the popular DAVF classification and the steps towards making a diagnosis in a patient who was admitted to hospital with a facial hypoesthesia.
