� Intracranial pial arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) are rare vascular lesions, of which fewer than 90 cases have been reported in the literature. They are composed of one or more arterial feeding vessels and a single draining vein that usually result in a huge varix. Because of the high-flow shunting, a poor prognosis is associated with conservative treatment. Surgical or endovascular treatment also poses various challenges. The authors present the cases of three patients in whom N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate‐assisted embolization was performed. Outcome in all three cases was good. The necessity of staged procedures to obliterate the AVF is also discussed.
