چکیده

The authors detail their use of a modified version of an electrolysis coil currently manufactured in the United States. They connect a platinum wire to a stainless steel wire via a copper segment, and apply low voltage current to induce thrombosis while electrolysis of the copper effects separation of the platinum coil. Their technique shows potential for treatment of complicated carotid cavernous fistulas.

High-flow, small-hole arteriovenous fistulas: treatment with electrodetachable coils.

We present one case of carotid-cavernous fistula caused by percutaneous treatment of trigeminal neuralgia and one case of vertebrovertebral fistula caused by percutaneous internal jugular vein cannulation. Each fistula had a small arteriovenous communication that prevented the use of detachable balloons. Endovascular transarterial treatment of these two iatrogenic fistulas with electrically det...

Indirect carotid cavernous fistula presenting as pulsatile tinnitus.

This paper reports a case of spontaneous indirect carotid cavernous fistula that presented with pulsatile tinnitus, left-sided temporal headache and left-sided ptosis. The pulsatile tinnitus, its aetiology and investigation are discussed. The importance of pulsatile tinnitus is highlighted, with a discussion of carotid-cavernous fistulas. This case illustrates that clinically silent cavernous s...

Spontaneous resolution of a trauma induced direct carotid cavernous fistula

Introduction: Direct carotid cavernous fistulas (CCF) are abnormal communications between the internal carotid artery and the cavernous sinus usually resulting from high energy trauma to the face and base of skull. The management of direct CCF relies on endovascular procedures repairing the malformation as healing cannot take place in the high flow system. Case Report: A 16­year­old male presen...

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

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Simultaneous traumatic carotid-cavernous fistulas(TCCFs) and traumatic cerebral aneurysms (TCAs) of the internal carotid artery (ICA) are rare. We describe the pitfalls of detecting a TCA before TCCF occlusion and the endovascular management of the TCA and TCCF. METHODS Over 12 years, 156 patients with TCCFs were treated at our institute. In four men (mean age, 34 years...

Delayed effects in the treatment of carotid-cavernous fistulas.

Carotid-cavernous fistulas may be classified into: (1) internal carotid, (2) external carotid, or (3) a combination of both. They may result from traumatic or spontaneous rupture of the carotid artery into the cavernous sinus. Intravascular embolization has become the treatment of choice for the management of carotid cavernous fistulas. The authors report the delayed effects after the treatment...
