Abstract
Convexity subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) has many possible causes. A 76-year-old man presented with back pain, left leg weakness, and hypertension. His brain imaging showed convexity SAH, with additional intraventricular blood and extensive spinal SAH from T3-S2. Following deterioration from a probable further haemorrhage, with development of left foot myoclonus, a spinal digital subtraction angiogram was normal but cerebral angiogram identified a cerebral dural arteriovenous fistula, which was successfully embolised. Convexity SAH has a heterogeneous clinical presentation and dural arteriovenous fistula is a potential cause.
期刊介绍：
The essential point of Practical Neurology is that it is practical in the sense of being useful for everyone who sees neurological patients and who wants to keep up to date, and safe, in managing them. In other words this is a journal for jobbing neurologists - which most of us are for at least part of our time - who plough through the tension headaches and funny turns week in and week out. Primary research literature potentially relevant to routine clinical practice is far too much for any neurologist to read, let alone understand, critically appraise and assimilate. Therefore, if research is to influence clinical practice appropriately and quickly it has to be digested and provided to neurologists in an informative and convenient way.
