We report the clinical details, imaging findings, and management of a 58-year-old female who presented with rapidly deteriorating neurological function and acute raise in intracranial pressure secondary to posterior fossa dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF). In this report, we present the emergency management of the DAVF with single-stage combined surgical decompressive craniotomy and direct transcranial embolization.
