| Popis: | We describe two patients who presented with dementia as the primary neurological manifestation of their dural arteriovenous fistula (dAVF). Although dementia is not the most common presentation for a dAVF, these cases show that obliterating the fistula can eliminate this dreadful manifestation. This awareness may facilitate the diagnosis of dementia in cases caused by dAVF and allow for a minimally invasive treatment that restores cognitive function back to baseline. |
