Spontaneous regression of a true intracanalicular fusiform ophthalmic artery aneurysm after endovascular treatment of an associated dural arteriovenous fistula

We present the interesting case of a 51-year-old man who was admitted with progressive visual loss secondary to a concurrent fusiform ophthalmic trunk aneurysm associated to a dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF). He was treated with transarterial embolization of the fistulous point. A follow-up angiogram at 6 months showed the complete obliteration of the DAVF and regression of the ophthalmic trunk aneurysm.
