Most cavernous sinus dural arteriovenous fistulas (CSDAVFs) present with benign neuro-ophthalmic symptoms. CSDAVFs manifesting with aggressive neurologic symptoms are rare. The purpose of this study was to analyze the different angioarchitectures of aggressive CSDAVFs and to report our experiences of embolization.
