Popis: ●Abstract● A 56-year-old male presented with a floating sensation. Brain CT and MRI indicated a focal edematous lesion with mass effects on the left cerebellar hemisphere. Angiography showed a dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF), classified as Djindjian Type Ⅲ and Cognard Type Ⅲ, that had developed on the left occipital artery and left posterior meningeal artery. Transarterial embolization was performed using N-butyl cyanoacrylate (NBCA). We discussed here a case of DAVF with single direct cerebellar cortical drainage and venous congestion. It drained into the left cerebellar cortical vein located in the mid-line, causing severe stagnation of venous drainage of the left cerebellar hemisphere.
