Abstract: A 61-year-old man with factor V Leiden thrombophilia presented with hemorrhage and transverse sinus thrombosis (figure, A). Four years later, he developed worsening aphasia, new hemorrhage, and hemispheric edema (figure, B). Susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) showed bright signal in the straight sinus (figure, C). A dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) was diagnosed (figure, D). The brain edema improved (figure, E) and SWI sinus hyperintensity resolved after endovascular disconnection of the fistula (figure, F). The authors thank the members of the Yale–New Haven Hospital Neurovascular & Stroke Programs for discussions and critical review of the manuscript.
