Abstract
We report a rare case of an encephalopathic presentation of a posterior fossa dural arteriovenous fistula with concomitant florid symmetrical bithalamic free diffusivity changes on MRI in a previously healthy individual. We describe the structural and functional imaging findings and the role of catheter angiography in diagnosis, prognostication and the timing and strategy in the management of this challenging vascular entity.
