We describe a case of dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) presenting with su
barachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). The diagnosis of DAVF was based on spinal angi
ography. A review of the literature revealed that five of 13 previously rep
orted DAVFs of the cervical spine were accompanied by SAH, SAH has not been
observed in DAVFs involving other segments of the spinal canal.
