Abstract OBJECTIVE AND IMPORTANCE Traumatic carotid-cavernous fistula (CCF) is currently treated with interventional neuroradiological embolization procedures. A rare case of posttraumatic CCF that resulted from an intradural pseudoaneurysm is presented. The patient was treated by direct surgery because an embolization procedure was not suitable. CLINICAL PRESENTATION A 16-year-old boy developed chemosis in the right eye 17 days after a traffic accident. Angiography revealed a pseudoaneurysm that arose from the site of origin of the posterior communicating artery, drained directly into the cavernous sinus, and formed a high-flow CCF. INTERVENTION Direct surgery was performed to repair the arterial laceration at the junction of the internal carotid artery and the posterior communicating artery. A clip was applied along the internal carotid artery. The posterior stump of the damaged posterior communicating artery was also included in the clip. Postoperatively, the CCF and pseudoaneurysm were completely obliterated, and the symptoms were cured. CONCLUSION Awareness of an unusual intradural origin of a CCF and the possibility of a direct surgical treatment should be kept in mind.

Background: We present a rare case of a left-sided carotid cavernous fistula (CCF) that presented 15 months post initial trauma with right-sided ophthalmic signs and symptoms. Highlighted is a contralateral endovascular approach to treating this traumatic CCF. Methods: Described is a case of a left-sided CCF caused by a self-inflicted gun shot wound to the head that was initially treated conservatively by neurosurgery and opthomology. The patient presented 15 months later with headache, acute right-sided periorbital swelling, severe right eye and facial pain. Results: Angiography confirmed the presence of a left-sided CCF with preferential drainage into the right cavernous sinus and right superior ophthalmic vein. The left internal carotid artery (ICA) was shown to be narrow and irregular. Multiple attempts to navigate the micro catheter through the vessel were unsuccessful. Instead, the fistula was embolized using a contralateral approach through the right internal carotid artery and across the anterior communicating artery. Imaging post-operatively confirmed successful occlusion of the CCF. Conclusions: This case is a rare example of a left-sided ICA occlusion secondary to trauma presenting 15 months after the initial injury with right-sided ophthalmic signs and symptoms. It is also one of only a few in the literature that describe successful treatment of traumatic CCF through a contralateral approach.

Transvenous Approach

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 dural carotid cavernous fistula completely occluded with Guglielmi detachable coils, using a transvenous approach through facial and superior ophthalmic vein. Case report. A 62-year-old man was referred with a gradual worsening proptosis, red eye, and decreased visual acuity, on the right side. Digital subtraction angiography revealed the presence of a right dural carotid cavernous fistula, predominantly supplied from dural branches of the right internal carotid artery siphon, with minimal contribution from the right middle meningeal artery and contralateral dural branches of the left internal carotid artery siphon. The fistula was drainaged through the dilated superior ophthalmic vein, and via the facial to the internal jugular vein. There was neither pacification of pterygoid and petrous sinuses, nor cortical venous reflux. Endovascular treatment was performed by a transvenous approach. A guiding catheter was placed in the right facial vein. A microcatheter was advanced through the dilated angular and superior ophthalmic vein, and its tip positioned into the right cavernous sinus. Coils were deployed, until a complete angiographic occlusion of the fistula had been achieved. The patient experienced rapid improvement in the symptoms, with complete normalization of his condition one month after the treatment. Conclusion. Coil embolization of dural carotid cavernous fistula by transvenous catheterization, through the facial and superior ophthalmic vein, can be considered as safe and effective treatment option in the presence of marked anterior drainage.

Direct Carotid Cavernous Fistula

Carotid-cavernous fistulas (CCF) are classified in direct (Barrow A) and indirect. The direct comunication between the cavernous segment of the internal carotid artery and the cavernous sinus defines direct CCF. In the present case, is described a 51-year-old female patient, diagnosed with subarachnoid hemorrhage through head tomography. The patient underwent an agiographic study, wen was identified a large dissecant aneurysm in the right internal carotid artery and a direct CCF with early drainage into the ophthalmic vein and inferior petrous sinus, manifesting paralysis of the third cranial nerve.

Carotid cavernous fistula secondary to ruptured giant intracavernous aneurysm of the internal carotid artery is rare. We report a case of direct carotid cavernous fistula secondary to rupture of a giant intracavernous ICA aneurysm. The presence of mirror or twin aneurysms of bilateral ophthalmic arteries raises therapeutic challenge. Coiling of the intracavernous aneurysm could partially occlude the fistula. Complete closure of the fistula was facilitated by secondary carotid compression.

We describe an unconventional endovascular approach in a young patient with large high-flow traumatic carotid cavernous fistula that could not be treated by detachable balloon procedure. Two coronary stent-grafts were used to close the large tear of internal carotid artery. After the failure of stenting procedure, the fistula was successfully treated by trapping with two detachable balloons.

A rare case of carotid cavernous fistula occurring during endovascular embolization of the left carotid cave aneurysm in a 48-year-old female is reported. It was thought to be caused by the tear of a small branch derived from the intracavernous internal carotid artery while the guidewire was passing the sharp posterior bend of the intracavernous internal carotid artery. The left carotid cave aneurysm was completely occluded with five Guglielmi detachable coils assisted by neck plasty technique. It was decided to follow-up the carotid cavernous fistula since it was asymptomatic. Follow-up angiogram performed two weeks later revealed spontaneous obliteration of the carotid cavernous fistula.
