Bojanowski"],"abstract":"Background: Ethmoidal dural arteriovenous fistulas (eDAVFs) are usually approached via a pterional or a frontal craniotomy. A more direct route to the fistula is possible through a purely transfrontal sinus approach. The aim of this report is to illustrate the interest of transsinus frontal approach for eDAVFs. Case Description: The transfrontal sinus approach is described and illustrated in a case of an ethmoidal arteriovenous fistula. This approach is the most direct when treating an eDAVF surgically, allowing preserving neural structures with minimal to no brain manipulation. Conclusion: For eDAVFs, the purely transfrontal sinus approach is highly worth considering in cases of large frontal sinuses.","thumbnailUrl":"https://sni-digital-videos.s3.amazonaws.com/articles/153f4404-4b19-49d0-b904-e3b3a14fa54e/featured/hero-1782421067217.png","publishDate":"2014-12-06T00:00:00.000Z","doi":"10.4103/2152-7806.146345","categories":["Original Article"],"fullTextUrl":"https://surgicalneurologyint.com/api/articles/153f4404-4b19-49d0-b904-e3b3a14fa54e/pdf"}
