Facial nerve injury following endovascular treatment of cavernous dural arteriovenous fistulae may be caused by ischemia from inadvertent embolisation of vasa nervorum, shearing or compressive forces. We report a case of unilateral facial nerve palsy as a complication of cavernous dural arteriovenous fistula embolisation.
