Zusammenfassung:Many tentorial dural arteriovenous fistulae (TDAVF) present with intracranial haemorrhage. We report a patient who presented with conjunctival injection. Transarterial embolisation of the TDAVF was undertaken with a wedged injection of a low concentration of N-butyl cyanoacrylate, arresting the flow next to the proximal segment of the venous outlet. After three sessions, a complete cure was achieved. We present a useful method which has not been reported previously.
