To describe a rare case of a falx cerebelli dural arteriovenous fistula developing post-occipital bone fracture and its clinical implications.
Reported a case of a 77-year-old patient with progressive myelopathy symptoms after skull fracture.
Utilized magnetic resonance imaging to assess spinal abnormalities and cerebral angiography to identify dAVF.
Performed transarterial embolization to treat the dAVF and track resolution via follow-up imaging.
Patient achieved complete angiographic obliteration after transarterial embolization.
Follow-up MRI showed resolution of abnormalities within 9 months.
Condition highlights the importance of considering falx cerebelli dAVFs in myelopathy cases post-fracture.
