7Dural Arteriovenous Shunts412
Fig. 7.14A–C. Neonatal diagnosis of dural arteriovenous shunt in which MRI suggested A torcular and B left-sided DSM. Macrocrania and ventricular dilatation led to ventricular shunting. C At 7 months, the child presented with a large, right-sided hematoma. Note the secondary thrombosis with tonsillar prolapse and a slow-flow signal in the midline and left-sided sinus
at this already eloquent phase,then melting-brain syndrome will eventual­ly occur (Fig. 7.15), usually remote from the DSM site, where the venous constraints are maximum (see Chap.2, this volume).
These lesions are often seen in utero,and therefore early correction of the AVS and preservation of the remaining venous outlets seems to be a logical immediate goal.Yet similar to VGAMs and CAVMs, early delivery is not recommended,as we will then face an even more immature vascu­lar system in a patient who needs emergency treatment.It appears that the

Fig. 7.15A–D. A 1-month-old boy presenting with mild cardiac overload that was not treated and progressive macrocrania with a large ventricle. Magnetic resonance imag­ing (A) and angiography (B, C) confirmed the DSM with bilateral thrombosis of the sigmoid sinus. Persistence of occipital and marginal sinus offered insufficient venous outlet. Note the melting-brain syndrome (D)
therapeutic window following the first symptoms for these technically challenging lesions is quite narrow.In some instances, the delay between the first symptom and referral is such that irreversible brain damage has already occurred. In others, the impact of the malformation is such that the thrombosis has compromised the only remaining cerebral drainage. In these situations, regardless of the techniques available, the child will develop cerebral hemorrhagic infarction. In some of the less extensive forms of the malformation, we have successfully occluded the associated AV S in an emergency procedure, despite minimal or even absent symp­toms (Fig. 7.16).Heparin treatment following the AVS occlusion has been used to keep the only patent jugular vein open.In other cases,the demon­stration of alternative draining pathways for the brain may allow the transvenous exclusion of the venous lake or in such rare and favorable situations, the AVS and the DSM lake may thrombose spontaneously (Fig. 7.17). These children grow normally and have a normal neurocogni­tive status for their age.
The key angioarchitectural features that will influence the natural his­tory and therefore prompt immediate endovascular preventive or correc­tive measures are the following (Barbosa et al. 2003) (Scheme 7.2):
DSM involving the torcular: noted in 14 patients (46.6%) (Table 7.2;
Figs. 7.16–7.19; Scheme 7.3). Pial, straight, and superior sagittal sinus reflux: present in 15 patients
(50.0%) (Table 7.3; Scheme 7.4). Dysmaturation of the jugular bulb (postnatal occlusion of the jugular
bulb and retrograde thrombosis of the sigmoid sinus) demonstrated
in 16 patients (56.0%) (Table7.4); persistence of a medial occipital
sinus by-passing the occluded jugular bulb must be looked for
(Schemes 7.5,7.6). To tal bilateral cavernous sinus capture (drainage of deep and superfi-
cial sylvian veins in the cavernous plexus) seen in 14 patients (46.7%).
Partial cavernous sinus capture present in eight patients (26.7%).No cavernous sinus capture was noted in eight patients (26.7%)
(Table 7.5). The treatment includes endovascular techniques (transarterial or trans-
venous), often associated with medical management with heparin. The choice of embolization material is either glue or coils and in some cases both. Some neonates or young infants are not embolized due to either preexisting brain damage or a low Bicêtre admission score at the time of consultation. The therapeutic options depend on the indivi­dual case’s angioarchitecture and state of the maturation or dysmatura­tion process. When there is partial or no cavernous capture and no pial reflux, there is an option of treating with heparin and embolizing the shunts with glue, with the expectation that cavernous capture will take place with minimal or no consequences for the hydrovenous equilib­rium of the maturing brain and granulations. If there is significant AV shunting causing pial reflux or adding to restricted outlets, emboli­zation is necessary to prevent venous hypertension and cerebral ischemic damage. The goal is to reduce to pial reflux, realizing that the shunts may preserve the patency of the sinuses.If the dural AVSs are completely

Fig. 7.16A–H. Neonatal diagnosis of left-sided capillary hemangioma of the face. A, B Clinical examination led to diagnosis of large dural malformation involving the
left sigmoid and lateral sinus and reaching the left side of the torcular. C,D A high­flow fistula into the sinus from the middle meningeal artery was embolized at 6months.Considering the already existing venous restriction (tonsillar prolapse),the contralateral jugular vein narrowing, and the restriction in the cortical vein drainage, the child was treated with low-molecular-weight heparin for 5 months.At 16months of follow-up,the hemangioma was stable, the occlusion of the fistula was confirmed, and the child was normal on neurocognitive evaluation.Left-sided hyperemia persist­ed, corresponding to a large hemangiomatous phenomenon with no dural sinus com­munication, but the tonsillar prolapse subsided (E,F).

Fig. 7.17A–C. A 2-month-old boy presented with macrocrania. A, B Early MRI already demonstrated tonsillar prolapse related to posterior fossa venous congestion secondary to superior sagittal sinus dural malformation, partially thrombosed, but remote from the torcular.Conservative treatment was chosen.Spontaneous thrombo­sis of the lesion occurred 12 months later and produced a significant reduction in the size of the lesion. C The superior sagittal sinus distal to the lesion reduced in size.The torcular remained patent, as did the sigmoid sinus bilaterally.The tonsillar prolapse resolved

Fig. 7.18A–I. At the age of 9 and 11 months, this child was medically treated for left­sided seizures.At 1.5 years,the child sustained a cranial trauma and was submitted to surgery for drainage of a right temporo-occipital subdural hematoma. A–C Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) showed a dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) in the left sigmoid/transversus sinus. D Angiography and embolization using the venous approach; E–G 4.35 m of 38 guidewire was delivered into the left lateral and sigmoid sinus. H–I Six months later, angiographic control showed no arteriovenous (AV) shunts.The child is currently still well and without complications. Note the patency of one sinus and the quality of central drainage (Courtesy of R. Piske)
