AbstractThree cases of dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) in patients who consulted for pulsatile tinnitus are reported. All were treated successfully by embolization. If DAVF is suspected, angiography of the carotid and vertebral arteries should be performed to confirm its presence and to identify sources of blood flow and venous drainage. If treatment is needed, embolization, surgery, or radiotherapy may be indicated either separately or in combination therapy. The numerous branches and site of the fistula make therapeutic embolization the procedure of choice for many cases.
