The artery of Davidoff and Schechter (ADS) is mostly identified in pathological conditions such as dural arteriovenous fistulas and brain tumors. Herein, we report a rare case of a ruptured aneurysm of the ADS, which was one of the feeders of a falcotentorial dural arteriovenous fistula. We performed endovascular embolization of the aneurysm and parent artery using n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate. Complete occlusion of the fistula was achieved by another feeder after the acute phase. To our best knowledge, only a few reports on embolization of ruptured ADS aneurysms exist. Furthermore, this is the first report on the embolization of a ruptured ADS aneurysm using n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate. This case highlights that endovascular n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate embolization could be a useful treatment for a ruptured ADS aneurysm.
