Abstract
A 59-year-old male presented with a dural arteriovenous malformation involving the inferior petrosal sinus manifesting as false-localizing ocular symptoms. Occlusion between the right inferior petrosal sinus and the right jugular bulb caused an unusual retrograde venous outflow from the inferior petrosal sinus to the cavernous sinus, thought to have been responsible for the chemosis, abducens nerve paresis, and orbital bruit. He was treated successfully with transarterial embolization and radiotherapy.
