These abnormal connections divert normal blood flow into veins causing increased venous pressure.
What is Dural Arteriovenous Fistula (DAVF)? A dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) is an acquired abnormal connection between arteries and veins within the dura mater which lines the surface of the brain and spinal cord. These abnormal connections divert normal blood flow into veins causing increased venous pressure. -This may lead to pain, headaches, visual symptoms, noise (bruit), and can result in bleeding or stroke. -Neuro interventional radiologists use embolization techniques to reduce or eliminate blood flow to the DAVF using specially designed glues, spheres, or coils.

What is Intracranial Atherosclerosis Intracranial Atherosclerotic Disease (ICAD)- ICAD carries a very high incidence of stroke. Risk factors for development of ICAD are the same as those which produce carotid artery stenosis. Intracranial atherosclerosis can be evaluated by CT angiography, MR angiography, transcranial doppler ultrasound, and catheter angiography. Treatment may include medical management (aspirin or other antiplatelet medications, blood pressure medications, and statins) or endovascular treatment using angioplasty and stenting.
