About Dural Arteriovenous Fistula

Dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) is a rare condition that affects the distribution of blood flow in the body. It is characterized by the formation of an abnormal connection between the aorta and the venous system, leading to a lack of blood flow to the lower extremities. The condition can be caused by a variety of factors, including congenital disabilities, trauma, or certain medications. Treatment typically involves a combination of medications to manage pain and prevent further complications, as well as surgical intervention to repair the DAVF. If you have symptoms of DAVF, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Major Symptoms of Dural Arteriovenous Fistula

The main symptoms of Dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) include:

1. Pain or discomfort in the lower limbs or pelvic floor: This is caused by blood entering the venous system from the arterial system and then flowing into normal or abnormal venous blood vessels.

2. Swelling and skin changes: Due to the obstruction of blood return in the venous system, swelling and skin changes of the lower limbs or pelvic floor may occur, such as earthworm-like skin, thinning of the skin, dull color, etc.

3. Ulcers or erosion of the lower limbs or pelvic floor: Due to obstruction of blood return, ulcers or erosion of the lower limbs or pelvic floor may occur, and pain or discomfort may occur.

4. Abnormalities of the vagina or urethra: DAVF may affect the vagina or urethra, causing abnormal bleeding, infection, or difficulty urinating.

5. Other symptoms: There may also be other symptoms, such as skin itching, lower limb or pelvic floor muscle spasm, etc.
