UNASSIGNED: Dural arteriovenous fistulae (DAVFs) are a rare cause of @entity932 . We aimed to investigate outcome of @entity1 with @entity932 from a DAVF. We performed a systematic literature search for studies reporting outcome after @entity932 caused by a DAVF. We used predefined selection criteria and assessed the quality of the studies. In addition, we studied outcome in all @entity1 with DAVF who had presented with @entity932 at two university centers in the Netherlands, between January 2007 and April 2012. We calculated case fatality and proportions of @entity1 with poor outcome (defined as modified Rankin Scale  >=   3 or Glasgow Outcome Scale   <=  3) during follow-up. We investigated mean age, sex, mid-year of study and percentage of @entity1 with parenchymal @entity548 as determinants of case fatality and poor outcome. The literature search yielded 16 studies, all but two retrospective and all hospital-based. Combined with our cohort of 29 @entity1 the total number of @entity1 with DAVF-related @entity932 was 326 (58  % @entity1779 ). At a median follow-up of 12  months case fatality was 4.7  % (95  % CI 2.5-7.5; 17 cohorts) and the proportion of @entity1 with poor outcome 8.3  % (95  % CI 3.1-15.7; nine cohorts). We found no effect of mean age, sex, mid-year of the cohorts and percentage of @entity1 with parenchymal @entity548 on either outcome. Hospital based case-series suggest a relatively low risk of @entity204 and poor outcome in @entity1 with @entity932 due to rupture of a DAVF. These risks may be underestimated because of bias.
