Abstract:
We present a unique clinical case of venous congestive encephalopathy in the context of a cerebral arteriovenous fistula with clinical worsening secondary to valvular overdrainage. ICP monitoring, the different pressure settings of the programable CSF shunt and the detailed clinical description that is carried out offer us enough data to understand that this case provides important pathophysiological knowledge to a little-known disease.
