Several studies have reported the coexistence of chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) and dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF); however, the association between these two entities remains unknown. A case of coexisting CSDH and DAVF that was successfully treated with burr hole surgery and middle meningeal artery (MMA) embolization is reported herein. We visualized the positional relationship between CSDH and DAVF by fusion three-dimensional computer graphics images reconstructed from multimodal imaging studies, which revealed that the shunt point of the DAVF was far from the burr hole and was in contact with the CSDH membrane at the center of the CSDH. Additionally, the chronological development of CSDH in the presence of DAVF and the complete disappearance of both DAVF and CSDH after MMA embolization were also demonstrated. This study suggests a possible association between recurrent CSDH and DAVF.
