Abstract
An intracranial dural arteriovenous malformation (DAVM) is presented, which received some of its blood supply from the left thyrocervical tr unk. Since arterial supply from the thyrocervical trunk is not reveale d by routine four vessel cerebral angiography, opacification of the ip silateral thyrocervical trunk is advocated in patients with posterior fossa DAVMs for whom endovascular treatment is being considered.
