Abstract：Dural arteriovenous fistula(DAVF)refers to an abnormal direct communication between arteries and veins located within the dura mater and surrounding structures.DAVF with deep cerebral venous drainage may lead to bilateral thalamic and basal ganglia edema,resulting in symptoms such as cognitive impairment,memory loss,parkinsonism,and altered consciousness etc.This paper summarized the clinical characteristics,treatment strategies,and prognosis of DAVF presenting with cognitive impairment,aiming to enhance clinicians'understanding of this DAVF subtype.By providing valuable insights into the diagnosis of this condition,the article seeks to advance diagnostic and therapeutic standards for patients with this type of DAVF.
