Abstract：Objective To investigate the feasibility, safety and outcomes of the endovascular treatment through arterial approach of lateral sinus (transverso-sigmoid sinus) dural arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs). Method The clinical data of 10 patients with dural AVFs in the lateral sinus regions, which were treated by the endovascular embolization through arterial approach with Onyx glue from July, 2011 to June, 2016, were analyzed retrospectively. Result DSA immediate after the embolization showed, that the dual AVFs were totally occluded in 8 patients and partly in 2. No complications occurred in all the patients. Following up from 6 months to 2 years showed that of these 10 patients, 8 were recovered well and 2 had ectopic recurrence of AVFs. Conclusion The endovascular embolization is an effective method to treat the dural AVFs in the lateral sinus regions, but there are still some ectopic recurrences in the part patients with dural AVFs.
