This study describes a case of traumatic carotid-cavernous fistula poorly treated with balloons and rescued by coils through a PComA approach. A six-year-old boy suffered a left temporal bone puncture wound. Digital subtraction angiography disclosed a left carotid cavernous fistula. Five balloons were implanted into the cavernous sinus and the parent artery was sacrificed unwillingly, but the residual fistula retro-engorged by the ophthalmic artery communicated with the maxillary artery and the post circle through the PComA. We finally occluded the residual fistula through the PComA with coils. Once the parent artery was sacrificed and the distal residual fistula still retro-engorged, another patent communicating artery may be a rescue approach.

Aim: The purpose of the study is to report the ocular manifestations of Carotid cavernous fistula. Toconfirm the diagnosis by radiological investigations and to evaluate the clinical outcome aftermanagement. Materials and Methods: Patients who presented to the ophthalmology departmentwith signs and symptoms of carotid-cavernous fistula were evaluated by clinical examinationfollowed by radiological investigations like ultrasound, Doppler, CT scan and MRI. They laterunderwent DSA ( Digital Subtraction Angiography) for confirmation followed by definitive treatment.Results: Out of four patients who had direct CCF, three cases were managed by endovascularembolization of the parent artery. The remaining one case was conservatively managed by carotidmassage as it was a low flow fistula and the patient also had Parkinson’s disease. Four cases thathad indirect CCF were managed by carotid massage. Complete closure of the fistula is seen in allcases. Patients were followed up for 1 month, 3 months and 6 months and clinical outcome wasevaluated. Conclusion: CCF should be suspected in the presence of arteriolised conjunctivalvessels, proptosis and audible bruit. Diagnosis is by radiological tests like ultrasonography, Doppler,CT scan and MRI. The confirmatory test is digital subtraction angiography (DSA). Direct CCF iseffectively treated with endovascular therapy by coiling the fistula and indirect CCF is managed bymanual compression. Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent sight-threatening complications.

Cavernous Fistula

Introduction: CT angiography (CTA) is the initial modality for diagnosing theCarotid Cavernous Fistula (CCF), identifying the type of CCF, measuring thediameter of the fistula and the diameter of the internal carotid artery (ICA) pre andpost fistula, and then confirmed by Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) as thegold standard. CTA is expected to provide more information to improve theaccuracy of CCF diagnosis to benefit therapy and prevent complications. Thisstudy aimed to determine the diagnostic value of CTA in CCF patients in Dr.Soetomo General Hospital Surabaya, using the DSA as a gold standard. Methods:An observational retrospective study of CCF patients met the inclusion andexclusion criteria and underwent CTA and DSA examinations at the RadiologyInstallation of Dr. Soetomo General Hospital, Surabaya, from January 2016 toJuly 2020. Results: In the comparison of types of CCF CTA to DSA, the directgroup was 53.8% and 57.7%, respectively, while the indirect group was 46.1% and42.3% with a very strong correlation (κ = 0.922; p = 0.000), sensitivity was 93.3%,specificity was 100 %, PPV of 100%, NPV of 91.7% and accuracy of 96.15%. Directtype evaluation on the DSA showed a large picture of the fistula diameter; the ICApre fistula's size was enlarged; therefore, the ICA post fistula diameter wasreduced or absent. There was a strong correlation of fistula diametermeasurement results between CTA and DSA (r = 0.695, p = 0.006).Conclusion: CTA has a similarity rate of 92.2% with DSA in identifying the typeof CCF. The accuracy value of CTA is close to DSA in fistula diametermeasurements.

Background: CT angiography (CTA) is the initial modality for diagnosing the Carotid Cavernous Fistula (CCF), identifying the type of CCF, measuring the diameter of the fistula and the diameter of the internal carotid artery (ICA) pre and post fistula, and then confirmed by Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) as the gold standard. CTA is expected to provide more information to improve the accuracy of CCF diagnosis to benefit therapy and prevent complications. This study aimed to determine the diagnostic value of CTA in CCF patients in Dr. Soetomo General Hospital Surabaya, using the DSA as a gold standard. Methods: An observational retrospective study of CCF patients met the inclusion and exclusion criteria and underwent CTA and DSA examinations at the Radiology Installation of Dr. Soetomo General Hospital, Surabaya, from January 2016 to July 2020. Results: In the comparison of types of CCF CTA to DSA, the direct group was 53.8% and 57.7%, respectively, while the indirect group was 46.1% and 42.3% with a very strong correlation (κ = 0.922; p = 0.000), sensitivity was 93.3%, specificity was 100 %, PPV of 100%, NPV of 91.7% and accuracy of 96.15%.

A 79-year-old woman was admitted to our emergency department with complaints of fainting and loss of consciousness three times during the past month. She was diagnosed with epilepsy and started to be treated with antiepileptic drug. Physical examination showed, in the left eye, chemosis, limited eye movements in all directions, and minimal exophthalmos as unexisting symptoms on admission developed on the sixth day. Orbital magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) imaging revealed a carotid cavernous fistula (CCF). Epileptic attacks and ophthalmic findings previously present but diagnosed during our examinations were determined to ameliorate completely after performing the coil embolization. Based on literature, we present the first case with nontraumatic CCF manifesting with epileptic seizures and intermittent eye symptoms in the present report.

Here, we present a 32-year-old male with proptosis and chemosis of the left eye following a close head injury. Digital subtraction angiography of the left internal carotid artery showed a left carotid-cavernous fistula (CCF) associated with a primitive trigeminal artery (PTA) variant. The patient was successfully treated with transvenous Guglielmi detachable coils embolization via the inferior petrosal sinus. The PTA variant was preserved without cerebellar or brainstem infarct.

Symptoms And Signs

Carotid-cavernous fistulas are abnormal vascular communications between the carotid artery or its branches and the cavernous sinus. They often present with visual symptoms and signs, such as proptosis, chemosis, diplopia, or conjunctival injection. In this chapter, we begin by reviewing the types of carotid-cavernous fistula and their respective causes. We next discuss the symptoms, signs, and potential complications of carotid-cavernous fistula. We then discuss noninvasive imaging approaches for the diagnostic evaluation of carotid-cavernous fistula, although digital subtraction cerebral angiography is necessary for definitive diagnosis. Lastly, we review the management options for carotid cavernous fistula, including approaches that can minimize or address potential visual complications.
