The Arch of Aorta

The Arch of Aorta

The coronary arteries, originating from the ascending aorta, bifurcate from two sinuses located within the ascending aorta. Positioned just above the aortic semilunar valve, these sinuses house essential aortic baroreceptors and chemoreceptors, crucial for maintaining cardiac function. The left coronary artery and the right coronary artery branch off from the left posterior and anterior aortic sinuses, respectively.
Encircling the heart, the coronary arteries form a ring-like structure before...

A rare carotico-cavernous sinus fistula (CCF) case presented with proptosis and vision loss after an accident. Transfemoral embolization successfully treated the right CCF, restoring vision.

Area of Science:

Ophthalmology
Neurology
Vascular Surgery

Background:

Carotico-cavernous sinus fistula (CCF) is a rare vascular anomaly.
Traumatic CCF can result from head injuries, leading to significant ocular and neurological symptoms.

Purpose of the Study:

To report a rare case of traumatic carotico-cavernous sinus fistula.
To highlight the diagnostic modalities and successful management of this condition.

Main Methods:

A patient presented with proptosis and decreased vision post-roadside accident.
Diagnosis was confirmed using contrast-enhanced CT scan and angiography.
Treatment involved transfemoral embolization of the right internal carotid artery fistula.

Main Results:

The diagnostic imaging confirmed a right carotico-cavernous sinus fistula.
Transfemoral embolization was technically successful in occluding the fistula.
Patient experienced improvement in proptosis and vision.

Conclusions:

Traumatic CCF requires prompt diagnosis and intervention.
Transfemoral embolization is an effective treatment for carotico-cavernous sinus fistulas.
Early management can prevent severe visual impairment and neurological deficits.
