Summary
Spontaneous carotid-cavernous fistulae involve abnormal connections between arteries and the cavernous sinus. Selective embolization of external carotid artery branches is an effective treatment for these complex vascular lesions.
Area of Science:
- Vascular Surgery
- Neurology
- Radiology
Background:
- Carotid-cavernous fistulae (CCF) are abnormal connections between the carotid artery and the cavernous sinus.
- Classification based on arterial supply is crucial for understanding CCF, with spontaneous dural CCF often involving the internal maxillary or meningohypophyseal arteries.
