Persistent Trigeminal Artery with a Cerebellar Branch and Trigeminal-Cavernous Fistula from Ruptured Aneurysm: Transarterial Coil Embolization
نویسنده
چکیده
common internal carotid artery (ICA) -basilar artery anastomosis with an incidence between 0.1% and 0.3% (1). Anomalous cerebellar artery originating from the PTA has rarely been reported (2, 3). Rarely when an aneurysm is combined and ruptures into the cavernous sinus, spontaneous trigeminal-cavernous fistula can develop, which is usually treated by transarterial detachable balloon embolization or transvenous coil embolization (4-7). We report a rare case of PTA with an arterial branch supplying the inferior cerebellum, combined with a trigeminal-cavernous fistula, which was successfully treated solely by transarterial coil embolization.

Coil embolization of a trigeminal-cavernous fistula.
A 53-year-old woman spontaneously incurred a right trigeminal artery-cavernous sinus fistula, manifested by an intracranial bruit and right sixth nerve palsy. This lesion was successfully managed by coil embolization via the transvenous and transarterial routes.
متن کاملTreatment of traumatic trigeminal-cavernous fistula by coil embolization and compression of carotid artery.
We report a case of a traumatic cavernous fistula supplied by a persistent primitive trigeminal artery. The process of treatment was unique in this case. Fistula was subcompletely occluded by coiling from primitive trigeminal artery. Residual fistula was helped to form thrombosis by compression of the carotid artery with hand in the procedure. Long-term follow-up was satisfactory. Traumatic cav...
متن کاملTransvenous embolisation of a carotid-trigeminal cavernous fistula.
A carotid cavernous fistula is an abnormal communication between the internal carotid artery and the cavernous sinus. Rarely, this communication is associated with a persistent primitive trigeminal artery, with or without a trigeminal artery aneurysm. We report a case of spontaneous carotid-trigeminal cavernous fistula in which the persistent trigeminal artery was shown only on vertebral artery...
متن کاملCoil Embolization For Sixth Cranial Nerve Palsy Caused By Persistent Primitive Trigeminal Artery
The author reports on the case of a 60-year-old woman who presented with recurrent left sixth cranial nerve palsy. The patient was initially hospitalized to rule out an aneurysm of the internal carotid artery. Angiography revealed segmental dilation of the internal carotid artery and a persistent primitive trigeminal artery (PPTA) that coursed through the dorsolateral cavernous sinus, opening i...
متن کاملTreatment of carotid cavernous fistulae or cavernous aneurysms associated with a persistent trigeminal artery: report of three cases.
One case of traumatic carotid cavernous fistula and two cases of cavernous aneurysm associated with a persistent trigeminal artery are reported. Since a significant rate of infarctions or hemorrhages in the vertebrobasilar territory is associated with PTA, we prefer to permanently occlude the PTA during treatment of a carotid cavernous fistula or a cavernous aneurysm if the trigeminal artery ca...
