Traumatic carotid-cavernous sinus fistula

Journal of Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery, 1988
Traumatic carotid-cavernous sinus fistula is an uncommon situation resulting from severe trauma, with less than 40 cases having been reported. It is usually associated with a skull base, frontal or mid-facial fracture, but it may also be a spontaneous phenomenon of congenital, infective or degenerative origin. The blood shunts from the internal carotid

Radiotherapy of spontaneous carotid-cavernous sinus fistulas

International Journal of Radiation Oncology*Biology*Physics, 1987
Between 1984 and 1986, 7 patients with spontaneous carotid-cavernous fistulas (CCF) were treated by radiotherapy delivering 3,000 cGy (200 cGy, 5 times per week) to the sellar region. Improvements of clinical signs and symptoms were seen in all patients within 6 months of treatment.

Ocular pneumoplethysmography in carotid-cavernous sinus fistulas

Journal of Neurosurgery, 1983
✓ Pulsatile exophthalmos in association with carotid-cavernous sinus fistulas has been well defined anatomically, by angiography. This paper presents the physiological assessment of this entity, as measured with ocular pneumoplethysmography (OPG-Gee). The abnormal arteriovenous communication lowers resistance to arterial flow.

Long Delayed Traumatic Carotid-Cavernous Sinus Fistula

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2013
Traumatic carotid-cavernous sinus fistula (TCCF) is a rare but significant vascular abnormality in the skull base found after craniomaxillofacial trauma. Although the direct type is usually caused by trauma, the onset of symptoms in TCCF may present several weeks after injury.

Non-traumatic external carotid-cavernous sinus fistula

Clinical Radiology, 1968
A case is reported of spontaneous cavernous sinus fistula with arterial inflow from branches of the external carotid artery and from the ophthalmic artery via a rete mirabile. The significance of this finding is discussed in relation to investigation of all cavernous sinus fistulas.

Endovascular Management of Direct Carotid-Cavernous Sinus Fistulas

The Neuroradiology Journal, 2012
To evaluate the single-centre experience with endovascular management of direct carotid-cavernous sinus fistulas (DCCF). Between November 2008 and November 2010, a total of 14 patients (11 males) with direct carotid-cavernous sinus fistula underwent 16 transarterial treatment sessions.

Carotid-Cavernous Fistula After Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2009
Carotid-cavernous fistulas (CCFs) are anomalous communications between the carotid arterial system and the venous cavernous sinus. They can arise because of spontaneous or trauma causes. Most caroticocavernous fistulas are of spontaneous origin and unknown etiology.

Carotid-Cavernous Sinus Fistula: A Case Study

Journal of Neuroscience Nursing, 2005
Carotid-cavernous sinus fistulae are rare, but serious, vascular anomalies which may develop following traumatic injury to the skull base. Fractures or the shearing forces of severe head trauma may cause the internal carotid artery to be torn from its points of dural attachment and rupture, with resultant direct flow into the cavernous sinus.

Carotid-cavernous sinus fistula accompanying facial trauma

British Journal of Oral Surgery, 1977
The development of a carotid-cavernous sinus fistula is an uncommon complication of a maxillo-facial injury. A case report in which this developed within three days of injury is described, and the aetiology and incidence of the condition discussed.

Posttraumatic carotid-cavernous sinus fistula.

The Journal of cranio-maxillofacial trauma, 2002
Posttraumatic carotid-cavernous sinus fistula is a rare complication of maxillofacial trauma and is seldom discussed in the literature. Motor vehicle accidents, falls, and other crush injuries contribute to the incidence of basilar skull fractures and the formation of fistulae.
