Dural arteriovenous fistula of the cavernous sinus with cortical venous reflux of the posterior fossa via a bridging vein.

We describe a patient who had a dural arteriovenous fistula of the cavernous sinus with cortical venous reflux into the lateral mesencephalic vein and cerebellar hemispheric veins via a bridging vein connected with the basilar plexus. The fistula and reflux disappeared after transvenous embolization using interlocking detachable coils.
