World Neurosurg . 2024 Feb; 184:e554-e576. PMID: 38336210
Background: Intracranial dural arteriovenous fistulas (IDAVFs) are abnormal vascular connections between dural arteries and various venous structures within the brain. IDAVFs, rarely present with parkinsonism and dementia concurrently, making this...
