چکیده
Closure of a direct carotid cavernous fistula with detachable coils by transpterygoid venous approach to the cavernous sinus is an alternative technique that may be applied in cases in which other techniques offer increased risk or in which other techniques have failed. In this case report, we present the details of the management of a direct carotid cavernous fistula by this method.

Introduction. Dural carotid cavernous fistula is acquired, relatively rare, condition comprising of numerous smallcaliber meningeal arterial branches, draining directly into cavernous sinus. Endovascular therapy is the treatment of choice, preferably by a transvenous approach. In the case of inaccessible inferior petrosal sinus, other alternative routes are considered. We presented a case of du...
متن کاملTransvenous Aneurysm Sac and Rupture Point Coil Embolization of Direct Carotid Cavernous Fistula after Pipeline Embolization
A delayed aneurysm rupture after flow diverter therapy is a rare but serious complication. Due to the anatomical specificity, a delayed rupture of a carotid cavernous aneurysm may cause a direct carotid cavernous fistula (dCCF). We present a novel therapeutic approach for treatment of dCCF after flow diverter therapy using the Pipeline embolization device (PED). An 86-year-old woman suffered fr...
متن کاملTransvenous embolization of dural fistulas involving the cavernous sinus.
Because of the risks associated with arterial embolization of cavernous dural fistulas, we have sought an alternative method to promote fistula closure. Thirteen patients underwent transvenous embolization as a treatment for symptomatic cavernous dural fistulas. All procedures were performed from a femoral vein access through the inferior petrosal sinus or basilar plexus. In five patients the i...
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 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...
