Abstract :
We report a case of 57-year-old man with bilateral thalamic infarction due to a DAVF, who underwent a mistreatment initially. We found simple medication was ineffective in treatment of bilateral thalamic infarct due to DVAF, and patients might have a better outcome if surgery was performed in prophase of disease. Further more, MRA and DSA should be as a routine examination for patients suspected with venous infarction for differences therapies.
