Midline DAVF usually has devastating consequences in children. Endovascular treatment is the first choice since it has lower mortality. Nevertheless, it requires multiple interventions, and the cure of the disease may not be achieved. We believe that joint endovascular and surgical treatment, supported by a reliable multidisciplinary medical team, is a good option for this type of lesions.
