Magnetic resonance imaging showed a vascular signal near the trigeminal nerve. Direct surgery revealed tortuous vessels on the dorsal surface of the nerve, with no offending vessels identified at the root entry zone. Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) confirmed a radicular AVF fed by the trigeminocerebellar artery, with venous drainage into the superior petrosal sinus through the petrosal vein. Endovascular embolization with n-butyl cyanoacrylate resulted in complete obliteration of the fistula and symptom resolution. Although a small pontine infarction occurred, no long-term deficits were observed. Follow-up DSA confirmed no recurrence.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"st3\">\n<jats:title>Conclusion: <\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>To the best of our knowledge, this represents the first
