Treatment of Traumatic Cavernous Fistulas

  • Chapter
Advances and Technical Standards in Neurosurgery – Volume 2

Part of the book series: Advances and Technical Standards in Neurosurgery ((NEUROSURGERY,volume 2))

Abstract

The ideal treatment of carotid cavernous fistulas would consist in selective closure of the fistula with preservation of the carotid patency. Because of the anatomical situation of the fistula within the cavernous sinus, this direct and selective attack has been impossible for a long time.
