چکیده

We describe an unconventional endovascular approach to the treatment of traumatic carotid-cavernous fistulas. Four patients with large high-flow shunts have been successfully treated by trapping of the fistula by using a combination of proximal balloon occlusion and distal coil embolization. The latter was achieved following retrograde catheterization of the distal parent vessel via the contralateral carotid or ipsilateral vertebral artery.

Alcohol embolization of carotid-cavernous indirect fistulae.

OBJECTIVE Carotid-cavernous fistulae (CCFs) are abnormal communications between the carotid artery and cavernous sinus that may present with rapid visual deterioration and extraocular paresis as a result of increasing intraocular pressure requiring emergent treatment to preserve vision. We present a technique of balloon-assisted ethanol embolization of the cavernous carotid artery supply to ind...

Post-trauma exophthalmos caused by a carotid-cavernous fistula.

Fistulae may be defined as direct connections between arteries and veins. Carotid-cavernous fistulae (CCF) are formed secondarily to abnormal communications between the cavernous portion of the carotid artery and the venous plexus of the cavernous sinus. Traumatic fistulae usually result from injuries to the internal carotid artery in its course to the cavernous sinus. These types of fistula fr...

A review on endovascular techniques for treatment of direct post-traumatic carotid-cavernous fistula supported by case presentations.

Direct carotid-cavernous fistula is an abnormal arteriovenous communication between the carotid artery and the cavernous sinus occurring spontaneously or following head trauma. The aim of this paper is to report our experience and a review of the literature regarding the curative effect of endovascular treatment for patients with post-traumatic direct CCF. We present five patients with direct p...

Posttraumatic Damage To The Internal Carotid Artery: Pseudo aneurysm Presenting With Epistaxis And Direct Carotid Cavernous Fistula

Three cases of posttraumatic internal carotid artery pseudoaneurysms presenting with epistaxis and associated direct carotid cavernous fistulae in two of the patients are presented. The rare association of the two types of posttraumatic internal carotid artery damage as well as the method and outcome of endovascular therapy performed in these cases will be reported.

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...
