    AbstractWe herein report a case of sudden-onset parkinsonism, with no other symptoms, caused by intracranial dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs). Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed an increased signal intensity in the bilateral lenticular nucleus. Endovascular embolization improved the patient's parkinsonism and MRI findings. DAVF should be suspected in cases of sudden-onset parkinsonism.
