Résumé
A 39-year-old man was admitted after 1 week of headaches and cognitive changes. CT scan showed bithalamic hypodensities, corresponding to bithalamic vasogenic oedema. Punctuate hemorrhage was present, with foci of thalamic enhancement. CT angiography raised the suspicion of arteriovenous shunt. Digital subtraction angiography confirmed a medial falcotentorial dural arteriovenous fistula. Complete embolization was performed using liquid embolic agent. Although tentorial dural fistulas have already been described as a cause of bithalamic oedema and subacute dementia, they are not generally included in pathologies implied in this radiologic pattern.
