Advances in the endovascular treatment of direct carotid-cavernous fistulas.
Carotid cavernous fistulas (CCFs) are abnormal connections between the carotid artery and the cavernous sinus. They are considered direct when there is a direct connection between the internal carotid artery and the cavernous sinus. These cases are generally traumatic. Direct CCFs are high-flow lesions, possibly related to intracranial bleeding, visual loss, corneal exposure or even fatal epist...
متن کاملDirect carotid cavernous fistula in infancy: presentation and treatment.
An 11-month-old female patient presented with symptoms of orbital venous congestion. A CT scan showed enlarged superior ophthalmic vein and cavernous sinus on the symptomatic side. Catheter angiography confirmed a direct carotid-cavernous fistula with intra- and extracranial venous drainage. Successful coil embolization of the fistula was performed with resolution of the infant's symptoms and r...
متن کاملSpontaneous resolution of direct carotid cavernous fistula.
Proptosis due to carotid cavernous fistula is rare sequelae of head injury. We report a case of post-traumatic, direct high flow carotid cavernous fistula that resolved spontaneously 06 weeks after carotid angiography. It however, resulted in loss of vision due to delay in early treatment. In the cases of post-traumatic proptosis, carotid cavernous fistula should be kept in mind.
متن کاملTreatment of iatrogenic internal carotid artery laceration and carotid cavernous fistula with endovascular stent-graft placement.
The risk of fatal injury of the internal carotid artery (ICA) and surrounding anatomy during transsphenoidal surgery for pituitary adenoma is the most severe potential complication associated with this particular approach. We present a case in which iatrogenic injury to a patient's ICA and resultant carotid cavernous fistula and massive hemorrhage was successfully managed with the emergency pla...
متن کاملEndovascular repair of direct carotid-cavernous fistula in Ehlers-Danlos type IV.
Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) type IV is a collagen vascular disease with an autosomal dominant inheritance caused by COL3A1 mutation. Patients with EDS type IV can present with organ rupture, spontaneous arterial dissections and ruptured aneurysms. Because of their propensity to form arterial dissections, aneurysms and rupture, they can develop carotid-cavernous fistula (CCF) after minor trauma...
