Abstract
Endovascular treatment of ethmoidal dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) has not been widely performed because of the technical difficulty of the procedure and the potential risk of central retinal artery occlusion. We report the case of a patient who underwent Onyx embolization through the ophthalmic artery in bilateral ethmoidal DAVF; to our best knowledge this is the first report.
