Acute angle-closure glaucoma after successful embolization of traumatic carotid-cavernous sinus fistula--case report.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 69-year-old woman developed acute angle-closure glaucoma 2 weeks after successful transvenous coil embolization of a traumatic carotid-cavernous sinus fistula. The angle-closure glaucoma was precipitated by oculomotor palsy caused by transvenous coil packing of the cavernous sinus. Emergency iridotomy resulted in normalization of the intraocular pressure and restoration of vision. Acute angle-closure glaucoma may develop in association with an oculomotor palsy caused by any etiology, including neurointervention.

Worsening angle closure glaucoma and choroidal detachments subsequent to closure of a carotid cavernous fistula
BACKGROUND Carotid cavernous fistulas are abnormal communications between the cavernous sinus and the external or internal carotid arteries. Although rare, closure of carotid cavernous fistulas can lead to immediate ocular complications. To our knowledge, our case represents the first report of worsening angle closure glaucoma and choroidal detachments over an extended period of two months subs...

We report a case of a patient who developed a remote dural arteriovenous fistula involving the left sigmoid sinus 4 months after successful transarterial embolization of a carotid cavernous fistula. This rare occurrence has been reported after transvenous embolization, but this represents the first case, to our knowledge, after transarterial coil embolization. We present our findings along with...

A 35-year-old male experienced the rapid development of left pulsatile exophthalmos and chemosis in the early course after craniofacial trauma. A high-flow direct carotid-cavernous fistula was found at diagnostic carotid angiography. After successful endovascular embolization of the fistula by balloon and coils, the patient developed a diffuse subarachnoid hemorrhage leading to death. We postul...
متن کاملTransvenous embolization of a direct carotid cavernous fistula through the pterygoid plexus.
Closure of a direct carotid cavernous fistula with detachable coils by transpterygoid venous approach to the cavernous sinus is an alternative technique that may be applied in cases in which other techniques offer increased risk or in which other techniques have failed. In this case report, we present the details of the management of a direct carotid cavernous fistula by this method.
