Self inflicted knife injury resulting in evisceration and serious risk to life

Penetrating injuries of the craniofacial region are increasing and have the potential to cause severe vascular and neurological deficit. We present our management of a case with a knife stab injury to the infra-orbital region, traversing the orbit and penetrating into the anterior cranial fossa, the tip lying in close proximity to the anterior cerebral circulation.

Knife Injury

Purpose: To describe the endovascular management of vertebrovertebral and caroticojugular fistulas in the same patient using a combination of endovascular techniques including covered stent placement in the high extracranial internal carotid artery. Case Report: A 22-year-old man presented with ipsilateral vertebrovertebral and caroticojugular fistulas at the C1 level several weeks after sustaining a solitary penetrating knife injury below the right ear. The right vertebral artery was sacrificed after a failed endovascular attempt to close the vertebrovertebral fistula. The caroticojugular fistula was treated with a self-expanding covered stent (Wallgraft) with exclusion of the fistula and preservation of flow through the carotid artery. Conclusions: Preservation of the extracranial arteries should be the preferred goal of treatment in traumatic extracranial arteriovenous fistulas. The use of covered stents in the extracranial vessels can accomplish this goal.
