To describe the diagnostic evaluation and endovascular management of a rare posterior fossa pial arteriovenous fistula presenting in infancy.
Evaluated an infant presenting with hydrocephalus and elevated intracranial pressure using magnetic resonance imaging, CT angiography, and digital subtraction angiography.
Performed transcatheter endovascular embolization using Guglielmi detachable coils (GDC) to occlude the single arterial feeder and draining vein.
Diagnostic imaging identified a single-feeder, single-drainer pial arteriovenous fistula with an associated perimedullary venous varix lacking a vascular nidus.
Transcatheter embolization using GDC coils achieved complete occlusion of the high-flow fistula.
