Abstract Introduction The detachable balloons are not frequently used nowadays for endovascular occlusion of carotid-cavernous fistula (CCF) because of lack of availability and supposed high risk of recurrence. This study describes the various way of detachable balloon embolization for traumatic CCF. Materials and Methods We have used endovascular detachable balloon to occlude the traumatic CCF under local anesthesia in various ways in 12 traumatic cases of CCF from March 2013 to April 2015. Clinical and computed tomographic (CT) angiography follow-up was done at 6 and 12 months. Results Clinical follow-up from 6 to 12 month showed persistent resolution of symptoms in 10 cases; 2 cases had developed slight proptosis and chemosis. CT angiography done in nine cases after 6 to 9 months showed no residual filling in CCF. Conclusion The detachable balloon either single or double with or without coils can be used in the management of CCF by different methods. Detachable balloon is a cheaper alternative compared with coiling. It is technically easier to perform and can be performed under local anesthesia.

Significance Statement This case report demonstrates a novel approach to treating a rare indirect carotid cavernous fistula (CCF) and associated abducens palsy. Although endovascular treatment is the standard of care in the management of CCFs, it was contraindicated in this patient. Instead, she underwent an endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA) with decompression of the medial orbital apex, including the cavernous sinus and optic nerve, with complete resolution of headache, lateral gaze palsy, and diplopia within 2 months.

✓ The author describes a technique for directly closing a carotid cavernous fistula with electrothrombosis while preserving the intracranial arterial circulation. Copper wires are introduced through the superior ophthalmic vein or a frontotemporal craniotomy, and thus directly into the portion of the sinus into which the fistula drains; if posterior, into the posterior segment of Parkinson's triangle, if inferior, into the pterygoid plexus, and if anterior, through the sphenoparietal sinus and/or middle cerebral vein to the anterior-inferior portion of the sinus. A direct current is applied until a thrombus is confirmed angiographically and the wires are left in place. Four patients treated by this method are presented.

Middle Cerebral Arteries

A traumatic carotid-cavernous fistula was closed with a silicone detachable balloon. Prior to the closure of the fistula, clinical and transcranial Doppler testing was performed in order to evaluate the consequences of a possible occlusion of the carotid artery. A newly developed Doppler technique with bilateral simultaneous velocity recordings of the middle cerebral arteries was useful during the procedure. The detachable balloon was effective in closing the fistula, but collapse of the balloon and the development of an extradural aneurysm was found at control examinations.
