Abstract
Dural arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are rare vascular abnormaliti es that most frequently involve the cavernous, transverse or sigmoid s inus. Anterior cranial fossa dural AVMs are uncommon. We report the cl inical, radiological and surgical features of an incidentally discover ed anterior fossa dural AVM. The literature regarding the anatomy and clinical presentation of this lesion is reviewed.
