  27. F. Signorelli, P. Khoueir, F. Scholtes, D. Roy, M.W. Bojanowski – Dural AV fistulae and Dementia DAVF & cognitive decline • 43 cases reported (+ the present 3) • Age 43-80 (mean 63) • M/F = 3/1 (74% vs 26%)

  28. F. Signorelli, P. Khoueir, F. Scholtes, D. Roy, M.W. Bojanowski – Dural AV fistulae and Dementia DAVF & cognitive decline • CT / MRI diagnostic • but: 5/46 initially « normal » (until contrast administration) • Weak or no correlation between severity of images and symptoms

  29. F. Signorelli, P. Khoueir, F. Scholtes, D. Roy, M.W. Bojanowski – Dural AV fistulae and Dementia The transverse sinus • 18/26 : diffuse white matter anomaly (8/26: abnormal vessels) • DAVF topography: • 4 (15%) bilateral, 12 (46%) right, 10 (38%) left • Sinus occlusion (NB: not all reported) : ≧73% (19/26) • 10 bilateral, 5 right, 4 left • Time to presentation: • 88% > 2 months (23/26)

  32. F. Signorelli, P. Khoueir, F. Scholtes, D. Roy, M.W. Bojanowski – Dural AV fistulae and Dementia DAVF & cognitive decline • Evolution: thalamic more rapid • Main prognostic factors • Negative: severity of symptoms • Positive: completeness of treatment

  33. F. Signorelli, P. Khoueir, F. Scholtes, D. Roy, M.W. Bojanowski – Dural AV fistulae and Dementia DAVF & cognitive decline • DAVF: potentially curable cause of dementia • Earliest possible & complete treatment: best prognosis • Thalamic : more rapid evolution
