Our report supports a causative relationship between dAVF and focal SE, manifesting as ictal LPDs on EEG, and highlights the importance of active dAVF management in achieving seizure control. The relatively good patient outcome contrasts to the few similar case reports. Whilst rare, it is important to consider dAVF as a potentially treatable condition underlying new-onset seizures, including SE.
