“…Transfemoral facial vein approaches to the SOV have also been described. 1,2,6,17,24 Despite the multiple options, in some cases access to the venous compartment where the fistula is located is impossible. Reasons include hypoplastic or thrombosed petrosal sinuses, presence of venous stenosis, compartmentalization of the cavernous sinus, and lack of proximal support in patients with a large right atrium.…”

Dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) of the cavernous sinus are acquired arteriovenous shunts between the dural branches of the internal and external carotid arteries and the cavernous sinus. These fistulas may present with cortical venous reflux, but more commonly drain antegradely toward the superior ophthalmic vein (SOV). Transvenous embolization is the most common endovascular treatment, but in some cases transvenous access to the compartment of the shunt may not be possible. In cases with no corticovenous reflux, manual compression of the SOV is an excellent alternative treatment, which is well known but rarely reported in the literature. The authors describe a series of 3 cavernous DAVFs with anterior drainage treated successfully by intermittent manual compression of the SOV.

“…21,22 Among them, TVE has been widely accepted as an effective treatment. [5][6][7][8][9][10]23 However, seven cases demonstrating a new DAVF following endovascular treatments have been reported (Table). 4,[11][12][13][14][15][16] In these DAVFs, new lesions occurred in either the ipsilateral TS-SS or the jugular vein.…”

“…4 Anatomical obliteration rates with TVE have been reported to range from 63% to 87.5%, and the clinical cure rates from 83% to 96%. [5][6][7][8][9][10] However, some reports have demonstrated an appearance of a new DAVF following endovascular treatment. 4,[11][12][13][14][15][16] We herein present a case of a cavernous sinus (CS) DAVF which recurred in the ipsilateral inferior petrosal sinus (IPS) and then in the sigmoid sinus (SS) in spite of repeated TVEs, and discuss the mechanism of a recurrence of the DAVF.…”

Recurrence of the cavernous sinus dural arteriovenous fistula at adjacent sinuses following repeated transvenous embolizations: case report and literature review

et al. 2008

We present a unique case of a cavernous sinus (CS) dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF), which recurred at adjacent sinuses following repeated transvenous embolizations (TVEs).A 68-year-old woman presented progressive left conjunctival chemosis and diplopia.Cerebral angiography revealed a left CS DAVF, which was completely obliterated by TVE via the left inferior petrosal sinus (IPS). Two years later, the DAVF recurred in the left IPS, and in the left sigmoid sinus (SS) three years after the initial treatment in spite of second TVE.Moreover, the left SS and the left internal jugular vein, which had been previously stenotic, have been occluded. The third TVE resulted in the complete obliteration of the SS DAVF.CS DAVFs may recur at adjacent sinuses even after complete obliteration by TVE. Careful follow-up is necessary to check for the recurrence of DAVFs especially in cases with venous flow changes, such as sinus occlusion, following endovascular treatments.

“…Various kinds of venous approaches have been reported: the inferior petrosal sinus (IPS) route was the first established and most commonly used [4][5][6] , especially for venous hormone sampling 2,3 . When the ophthalmic vein [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] , superior petrosal sinus (SPS) 21 and pterigoid plexus (PP) 22 are involved in venous drainages of CCFs, each venous channel may become an appropriate access route.…”
