Literature about this lesion is sparse. We intent to analyze and report our experience with these cases with respect to presentation, evaluation, and endovascular treatment outcomes.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Materials and Methods\u2003All the eight patients who were diagnosed with DAVFs at FM and treated with transarterial embolization using ethylene viny alcohol were included in this study. Clinical record sheets, radiological, and angiographic data of these patients were retrieved from our departmental database.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Results\u2003Duration of symptoms ranged from 1 day to 3 years. Presentation with progressive ascending sensory symptoms and weakness (N\u2009=\u20094), acute headache (N\u2009=\u20092) acute quadriplegia (N\u2009=\u20091), and right ear bruit (N\u2009=\u20091) was seen. Exclusive feeders from occipital artery (OA) and vertebral artery (VA) were seen in two and four patients, respectively. Dual feeders from a combination of ascending pharyngeal artery and VA; from a combination of OA and VA were seen in one patient each. The exclusive venous drainage to spinal peri medullary veins (N\u2009=\u20093), brain stem peri medullary veins (N\u2009=\u20091), and both combined (N\u2009=\u20094). Two patients had a draining vein aneurysm. Complete obliteration of fistula was achieved in all patients. Complete resolution of symptoms was seen in six patients; two patients had significant improvement.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusion\u2003The clinical presentation of dural AVF at foramen magnum is wide ranging and these lesions can be treated effectively and safely by transarterial embolization. Duration of symptoms strongly influences the final patient
