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.

Transvenous Approach

✓ An attempt at transfemoral transarterial balloon occlusion of a high-flow spontaneous carotid-cavernous fistula was unsuccessful because the carotid artery rent was too small for this approach. During a subsequent transvenous approach to the cavernous sinus through the jugular vein, the inferior petrosal sinus was perforated. A minor subarachnoid hemorrhage occurred before the tear could be sealed by the deposition of three Gianturco coils in the vein. The patient was taken to the operating room for emergency obliteration of the fistula and petrosal sinus in order to remove the risk of further hemorrhage. Under the guidance of intraoperative digital subtraction angiography, isobutyl-2-cyanoacrylate was injected directly into the surgically exposed cavernous sinus. Successful obliteration of the fistula was achieved with preservation of the carotid artery, and the angiography catheter was removed safely from the petrosal sinus. Although initially after surgery the patient had nearly complete ophthalmoplegia, at her 1-year follow-up examination she had normal ocular motility and visual acuity. The transvenous approach to the cavernous sinus and alternative methods of treatment of carotid-cavernous fistulas are discussed.

✓ The results of 61 cases of stereotaxic thrombosis of intracranial berry aneurysms indicate that the technique in selected cases is comparable to, but not necessarily superior to standard surgical methods. The results of wire-induced thrombosis in 15 cases of giant intracranial aneurysm suggest that this method is effective in situations where clipping and encapsulation are inapplicable. The results of thrombosis in six cases of carotid cavernous fistula suggest that intracavernous wire thrombosis may prove to be the treatment of choice in that it seals the fistula without impairing carotid blood flow.
