Multiple dural arteriovenous fistulae and SARS CoV-2, a lethal combination

Introduction: Dural arteriovenous fistulas are abnormal communications between the arterial and dural sinus vessels or the cortical veins. Multiple dural arteriovenous fistulae have an incidence rate of 6-9%. Their pathophysiology is poorly understood, although there is a consensus on three theories...
