A new subtype of intracranial dural AVF according to the patterns of venous drainage.

CONCLUSIONS: This rare type of DAVF, combines two aggressive venous drainage patterns. For that reason, patients with type IV+V DAVF probably have a more aggressive natural history and worst outcome due to risk of intracranial and/or spinal hemorrhage and myelopathy, thus requiring urgent diagnostic and treatment. Larger studies are needed to better understand this type of DAVF. PMID: 33023355 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
