• arteriovenous fistula
• craniocervical junction
• vertebral artery

A rare case of the dural arteriovenous fistula at the craniocervical junction which stemmed from subarachnoid hemorrhage was reported with some exceptional neuroradiological images, which would be useful for the diagnosis. Besides, in the case of subarachnoid hemorrhage due to unknown origin this disease should be taken into consideration. Furthermore, the especial anatomical feature of this disease that lesions are closely associated with the vertebral artery was clarified by reviewing all the cases which have been published so far. Considering this feature, as the dural branches from the vertebral artery is quite tiny, the surgical obstruction of feeding arteries would be preferable to the endovascular treatment.
