Endovascular management of the traumatic cerebral aneurysms associated with traumatic carotid cavernous fistulas.

Intracavernous aneurysms and carotid-cavernous fistulas. A clinicopathological study.

The location of the original sites of the lesions was studied in 22 non-traumatic and 21 traumatic intracavernous carotid aneurysms in which the neck of the aneurysm was confirmed, and also in 23 traumatic carotid-cavernous fistulas in which the location of the fistula was identified. In the cavernous sinus, common sites of non-traumatic and traumatic carotid aneurysms as well as traumatic caro...

Traumatic Middle Meningeal Artery and Fistula Formation with the Cavernous Sinus and a Review of the Literature on Endovascular Management of Traumatic Carotid Cavernous Fistulas

Cavernous carotid origin aneurysm rupture with intracerebral intraparenchymal hemorrhage after treatment of a traumatic Barrow type A cavernous carotid artery fistula.

This case report demonstrates delayed rupture of a cavernous carotid fistula and aneurysm into the temporal lobe 12 years after treating a direct cavernous carotid artery fistula using detachable silicon balloons. The ultimate treatment was performed using arterial endovascular sacrifice. Successful treatment of cavernous carotid fistulas may ultimately lead to formation of cavernous aneurysms....

Endovascular embolization of carotid-cavernous fistulas: A pioneering experience in Peru

BACKGROUND Endovascular embolization represents the method of choice for the treatment of carotid-cavernous fistulas (CCFs). METHODS We report our experience using the endovascular technique in 24 patients harboring 25 CCFs treated between October 1994 and April 2010, with an emphasis on the role of detachable balloons for the treatment of direct CCFs. RESULTS Of the 16 patients who present...

Endovascular targeted coil embolization using dual vessel approach for traumatic direct carotid- cavernous fistula following severe head trauma: technical notes

Direct carotid cavernous fistulas (dCCFs) represent different entitles from spontaneous cavernous sinus (CS) dural arteriovenous fistulas (CSAVFs). Traumatic dCCFs are direct arteriovenous communications between the internal carotid artery (ICA) and cavernous sinus, resulting from a traumatic tear of the horizontal or posterior ascending intracavernous segment of the ICA by skull fracture fragm...
