Carotid duplex sonography (CDS) is regarded as a screening tool for lateral dural arteriovenous fistulae (AVF). However, data on evaluating long‐term effects of endovascular treatment are limited. We report the CDS findings in the feeding arteries of a traumatic temporal extradural AVF before and after transarterial embolization. Volume flow of the left common carotid artery was greater than the right (433 ml/minute versus 294 ml/minute right) and the resistance index of the left external carotid artery was lower than the right (0.69 left versus 0.84 right). Both parameters returned to normal 4 months after embolization, thus confirming successful endovascular treatment. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Clin Ultrasound, 2008
