The tentorial branch of the superior cerebellar artery (SCA) is not well known and is underreported in the literature. In the present study, the authors report and describe a dural branch arising from the SCA that was encountered during the surgical treatment of a tentorial dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF). The clinical relevance of this branch is discussed.
