Dural arteriovenous fistula

Blood Vessels & Circulation

Head & Neck

A dural arteriovenous fistula is an abnormal connection between arteries and veins in the coverings of the brain or spinal cord. It can develop gradually and cause worsening neurological symptoms. An MRI may show changes in vascular structures consistent with an abnormal connection. Finding a dural arteriovenous fistula early may allow for treatment before it causes haemorrhage or neurological damage.

SCReening explained

It’s important to understand that OneMRI's full-body scan is a general proactive health scan developed to include areas where preventative screening delivers the most meaningful insight in a way that is safe and non-invasive. The scan should be used to compliment other routine scans and screening. It should not replace standard screening protocols or targeted procedures as recommended by your doctor, specialist or health provider. Examples of these include mammogram, prostate examination, cervical screening, colonoscopy, and lung cancer screening.
