Dural arteriovenous fistulas and headache features: an observational study

ConclusionsThese findings suggest a link between the site of lesion and clinical features of the headache, a symptom that usually leads to hospitalization. In particular, ocular symptoms accompanyingnon-migraine-like headache should be promptly recognized and raise the suspicion of a carotid-cavernous fistula, whilemigraine-like headache may suggests other dural arteriovenous fistulas. This study provides new significant insights on headache and its characteristics as a presentation symptom in dural arteriovenous fistulas.
