Middle meningeal arteriovenous fistula (MMAVF) is a shunt between the middle meningeal artery and the vein surrounding the artery. We report an extremely rare case of spontaneous MMAVF; then, we evaluated the effectiveness of trans-arterial embolization for spontaneous MMAVF and the possible cause of spontaneous MMAVF.A 42-year-old man with tinnitus, a left temporal headache, and pain surrounding the left mandibular joint was diagnosed with MMAVF on digital subtraction angiography. Trans-arterial embolization with detachable coils was conducted, which resulted in a fistula closure and symptoms' diminishment. The cause of MMAVF was thought to be the rupture of the middle meningeal artery aneurysm.A middle meningeal artery aneurysm can be a cause of spontaneous MMAVF, and trans-arterial embolization might be an optimal treatment.

Hidden bow hunter's syndrome (HBHS) is a rare disease in which the vertebral artery (VA) occludes in a neutral position but recanalizes in a particular neck position. We herein report an HBHS case and assess its characteristics through a literature review. A 69-year-old man had repeated posterior-circulation infarcts with right VA occlusion. Cerebral angiography showed that the right VA was recanalized only with neck tilt. Decompression of the VA successfully prevented stroke recurrence. HBHS should be considered in patients with posterior circulation infarction with an occluded VA at its lower vertebral level. Diagnosing this syndrome correctly is important for preventing stroke recurrence.
