Abstract: Vertebral artery dural arteriovenous fistulae (VADAVF) are a rare entity. We present a patient who experienced pre-syncopal symptoms and was found to have a VADAVF between the posterior meningeal artery and a cortical vein draining into the sigmoid sinus. The patient initially underwent surgical intervention, which failed to obliterate the shunt. Endovascular treatment with use of a flow diverter provided definitive disconnection of the shunt.
