Abstract
Dural arteriovenous shunts (DAVSs)are abnormal shunts within the dura. Theoretically, they can occur at any site within the dura, but most frequently they develop near the venous sinuses. Venous drainage may occur into the dural sinuses, into osteodural veins, retrogradely via leptome- ningeal veins toward the cortical cerebral, cerebellar, or perimedullary veins,or any combination thereof. Arterial supply is usually from adjacent branches of the dural arteries, less frequently from osseous branches, while pial supply is rare.
