Postoperative developmental dural arteriovenous fistula

We report a case of a 39-year-old woman with a left temporal hemorrhagic lesion and an associated developmental venous anomaly. The patient underwent craniotomy and surgery for the removal of the mass. Approximately 2 months postsurgery, the patient complained of left-sided tinnitus with a bruit over the left temporal region. Cerebral angiography showed a DAVF close to the operation site.
