Transvenous sonographically guided percutaneous access for treatment of an indirect carotid cavernous fistula.
نویسندگان
چکیده
When standard transarterial or transvenous interventional techniques failed to provide access to treat an indirect carotid cavernous fistula, we used sonographically guided direct percutaneous access through the facial vein to successfully embolize a lesion.

Indocyanine Green Videoangiographic-Guided Cannulation of the Superior Ophthalmic Vein for Endovascular Treatment of Carotid-Cavernous Fistulas.
Direct exposure and cannulation of the superior ophthalmic vein (SOV) provides an alternative access to reach the cavernous sinus for carotid-cavernous fistula (CCF) embolization, when classic transvenous routes through the inferior petrosal sinus (IPS) or facial vein are not feasible. We have used indocyanine green (ICG)-videoangiography to study intraoperatively the flow inside the SOV in two...
متن کاملIndirect 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...
متن کاملCarotid cavernous fistula: embolization via a bilateral superior ophthalmic vein approach.
We report the case of a 74-year-old woman with a complex indirect (Barrow D) carotid cavernous sinus fistula. The patient was treated incrementally and finally cured by a rarely reported bilateral retrograde direct transvenous approach via the superior ophthalmic vein. The treatment of the complex carotid cavernous fistula with multiple bilateral fistula points showed additional complexity due ...
متن کاملSurgical transvenous embolization of a cortically draining carotid cavernous fistula via a vein of the sylvian fissure.
Percutaneous transvenous embolization is one of the most effective treatments of intracranial dural arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) involving the dural sinuses. We present a unique case of surgical transvenous embolization in a 48-year-old man with a dural AVF of the cavernous sinus who presented with intracerebral hematoma. The dural AVF drained only into the vein of the sylvian fissure on angio...
متن کاملAmelioration of acute orbital compartment syndrome following transvenous embolization for an indirect carotid-cavernous fistula
RATIONALE Orbital compartment syndrome (OCS) is a rare occurrence after transvenous embolization of indirect carotid-cavernous fistula (CCF). A lateral canthotomy and cantholysis are the most commonly performed surgical interventions. In our case, as the acute OCS occurred immediately after an uneventful transvenous embolization, an orbital floor orbitectomy was performed. PATIENT CONCERNS He...
