Abstract

A boy was born at 36 weeks gestation weighing 2,135 g, with a prenatal diagnosis of dural sinus malformation with arteriovenous shunts. Congestive heart failure and anuria at birth prompted emergency intervention. Transfemoral-transvenous coil embolization was performed on day 1, resulting in partial occlusion of the huge venous pouch with a total length of 2,355 cm of detachable coils. Transarterial glue embolization on days 7, 23, and 42 was required due to persistent heart failure. Transarterial embolization was performed by common carotid puncture because the transfemoral route could not be used due to the small size and compromised blood flow of the femoral artery. Transarterial embolization reduced the arteriovenous shunts markedly and resulted in clinical improvement. Early treatment of a high flow dural arteriovenous fistula in a low birth weight neonate can achieve an excellent result with an acceptable neurological outcome.
