    AbstractDue to a unique cortical venous drainage pattern without sinus drainage, ethmoidal dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) are uncommon cerebral vascular lesions that carry a high risk of brain bleeding and neurologic deficit. Surgical intervention has been found to have a lower complication rate and a more satisfactory obliteration rate than endovascular treatment among the various DAVF treatment options. The supraorbital keyhole subfrontal approach is one of the least invasive and appropriate surgical techniques for addressing the anterior fossa vascular lesion in eDAVFs. We describe two men, ages 60 and 71, who underwent this surgical intervention to treat asymptomatic Cognard type IV eDAVFs. Complete obliteration with a detached fistulous point and skeletonization was accomplished with the aid of intraoperative neuronavigation. Thus, we suggest that a suitable surgical method for the treatment of eDAVFs would be to use a supraorbital keyhole subfrontal approach.
