BACKGROUND: Dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) leading to oedema, primarily in the internal capsule, are extremely rare and, to our knowledge, have never been reported. We reported a case of DAVFs with oedema in bilateral internal capsule oedema and reviewed the literature.
METHODS: The report describes a unique imaging presentation of cases of DAVFs as symmetric lesions, mainly in the bilateral internal capsule. It also reviews the literature for symmetric lesions in the internal capsule and central grey matter caused by DAVFs to further characterize this rare entity and differential diagnosis through imaging features.
RESULTS: In cases of symmetric oedema caused by DAVFs, the most common artery involved in arterial supply was the middle meningeal artery (13/24; 54%). The main vein involved in the drainage was the Galen vein (18/29; 62%). Most cases were treated with transarterial embolization (23/29; 79%), and the probability of effective treatment or complete cure is 100%. On imaging, the vasogenic oedema signal caused by DAVFs is a symmetrical lesion of the bilateral internal capsule, that is, DWI MRI shows a high signal in the unrestricted diffusion area on the apparent diffusion coefficient map.
CONCLUSIONS: MR has good diagnostic value in abnormal basal ganglia symmetric signals caused by DAVFs, and can quickly identify DAVFs early.
