Infantile dural arteriovenous fistula: a reconsideration.

IDAVS accounted for a small proportion of pediatric cerebrovascular pathologies, with markedly heterogeneous presentations. Stepwise selective embolization was associated with favorable outcomes, and is recommended over an aggressive approach with the goal of complete angiographic obliteration. Our proposed revised classification system bifurcates pediatric DAVS into dural sinus malformations and all other DAVS that are manifest in children, thereby enhancing diagnostic clarity and therapeutic approaches.
