In this report, we present a case involving a 41-year-old man who exhibited a progressively enlarging pulsatile mass in his right occipital scalp. Computerized tomography angiography (CTA) and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) identified a complex scalp arteriovenous fistula (S-AVF). The combination of clinical symptoms and neuroimaging findings facilitated the diagnosis. Following a thorough discussion, we implemented a comprehensive strategy that included both endovascular embolization and surgical resection. The patient demonstrated an excellent prognosis with no reported discomfort. A comprehensive surgical approach should be considered in the management of patients with complex scalp arteriovenous fistula (S-AVF).
