Spontaneous Closure of a Dural Arteriovenous Fistula Immediately after Cerebral Angiography Using a Gadolinium Contrast Agent

Gadolinium (Gd) contrast agents have been used instead of iodinated contrast agents in patients in whom iodine is contraindicated, but cerebral angiography of a dural arteriovenous fistula (dAVF) using a Gd contrast agent has not previously been reported. We recently performed cerebral angiography u...

Description
Summary:Gadolinium (Gd) contrast agents have been used instead of iodinated contrast agents in patients in whom iodine is contraindicated, but cerebral angiography of a dural arteriovenous fistula (dAVF) using a Gd contrast agent has not previously been reported. We recently performed cerebral angiography using a Gd contrast agent in a patient with an anterior condylar confluence dAVF who was allergic to iodine. To our surprise, there was spontaneous closure of the dAVF immediately after angiography. We now report what we believe is the first such case report.
