RESUMEN

<p><b>BACKGROUND</b>Although there were several clinical and experimental studies discussing the pathogenesis of dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF), the pathological process leading to intracranial DAVF so far remains unknown. In this study, we investigated the expression of vascular growth factors in order to elucidate the possible role of these factors for the development of DAVF and to study the biological activity of this uncommon lesion.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>We examined the histological features, proliferative and angiogenic capacities of the tissue specimens obtained from 6 patients who underwent surgery at our institution. Immunohistochemical staining for vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), its receptors Flk-1 and Flt-1, ephrin-B2, MIB-1 and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) was performed using standard immunohistochemical techniques.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>A positive immunostaining was found for all antibodies studied except MIB-1, whereas nuclear endothelial expression of PCNA was observed in only 3/6 cases. VEGF stained positive in all of the available specimens (6/6). Flk-1 showed a positive immunoreaction in only 2/6 cases and Flt-1 in 4/6 cases. Ephrin-B2 was expressed in the majority (5/6) of the cases.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>These results support the hypothesis that DAVFs might be acquired dynamic vascular malformations with low biological activity. Vascular growth factors like VEGF and ephrin-B2 might play a pivotal role in the formation of DAVF.</p>
