severe vision loss and neovascular glaucoma complicating superior Ophthalmic Vein approach to carotid cavernous sinus fistula
American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1997Co-Authors: Don O Kikkawa, Neeru Gupta, Leah Levi, Robert N WeinrebAbstract:Purpose To report a patient with unilateral vision loss and neovascular glaucoma after attempted superior Ophthalmic Vein embolization in the treatment of a carotid-cavernous sinus fistula. Methods A 69-year-old man with a history of a left dural carotid-cavernous sinus fistula underwent attempted treatment with superior Ophthalmic Vein embolization. The procedure was unsuccessful, and the left superior Ophthalmic Vein was ligated. Results Uncontrolled left proptosis and intraocular pressure necessitated urgent orbital decompression with severe vision loss and neovascular glaucoma. Conclusion Superior Ophthalmic Vein embolization in the management of carotid-cavernous fistula may be associated with vision-threatening complications.

cook detachable coil embolization of a symptomatic isolated orbital arteriovenous fistula via a superior Ophthalmic Vein approach
Neuroradiology, 2005Co-Authors: Prem S Subramanian, Philippe Gailloud, Donald Heck, Rafael J Tamargo, Kieran J Murphy, Neil R. MillerAbstract:Isolated arteriovenous fistulas of the posterior orbit occur with exceptional rarity, and their evaluation and management are not well characterized. We describe the clinical presentation and treatment of a spontaneous arteriovenous fistula of the right posterior orbit via a superior Ophthalmic Vein approach for embolization using platinum detachable coils.

treatment of carotid cavernous sinus fistulas using a superior Ophthalmic Vein approach
Journal of Neurosurgery, 1995Co-Authors: Neil R. Miller, Lee H. Monsein, Gerard Debrun, Rafael J Tamargo, Haring J. W. NautaAbstract:✓ The authors describe the method and results of treatment of 12 consecutive patients with carotid-cavernous sinus fistulas (CCFs). Treatment was by embolization via a transvenous approach through the superior Ophthalmic Vein (SOV). The CCFs (two direct and 10 dural) had previously been treated unsuccessfully or, for mechanical reasons, could not be treated by the standard techniques of endoarterial balloon occlusion, particle or glue embolization of feeding vessels from one or both external carotid arteries, or transvenous occlusion of the fistula via the ipsilateral inferior petrosal sinus. All 12 patients were successfully treated either by advancement of a detachable balloon catheter through the ipsilateral SOV into the cavernous sinus with subsequent inflation and detachment of the balloon (11 patients) or by introduction of multiple thrombogenic coils into the fistula via the ipsilateral SOV (one patient). All patients had complete resolution of symptoms and signs after successful occlusion of the C...

Treatment of dural carotid-cavernous fistulas via the superior Ophthalmic Vein.
American Journal of Neuroradiology, 1991Co-Authors: Lee H. Monsein, Gerard Debrun, Neil R. Miller, Haring J. W. Nauta, J. R. ChazalyAbstract:Symptomatic patients with dural carotid-cavernous fistulas often require treatment. Traditional therapies, which often are not completely successful, include manual common carotid artery compression and embolization via transarterial routes. This report describes four symptomatic patients with spontaneous dural carotid-cavernous fistulas who were treated unsuccessfully with transarterial embolotherapy and subsequently treated successfully by having a detachable balloon introduced into the cavernous sinus via the superior Ophthalmic Vein, which was surgically exposed. The fistulas resolved without complications. Treatment of dural carotid-cavernous fistulas by means of the transvenous approach via the superior Ophthalmic Vein may be of benefit in selected patients.

endovascular treatment of a cavernous sinus dural arteriovenous fistula by transvenous embolisation through the superior Ophthalmic Vein via cannulation of a frontal Vein
Neuroradiology, 2003Co-Authors: Carlo Venturi, Sandra Bracco, Alfonso Cerase, Paola Gennari, F Lore, Ennio Polito, Ae CasascoAbstract:We describe a new approach for transvenous embolisation of cavernous sinus dural arteriovenous fistulae through the superior Ophthalmic Vein (SOV), i.e., via percutaneous cannulation of a frontal Vein. Modern neurointerventional angiographic materials make it possible to reach the SOV in this way without puncturing it in the orbit or a surgical exposure. Orbital phlebography should still be in the repertoire of interventional neuroradiology units in large centres.

septic superior Ophthalmic Vein thrombosis
Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology, 2002Co-Authors: James C Walker, Avinda Sandhu, George PietrisAbstract:: An illustrative case of septic superior Ophthalmic Vein thrombosis secondary to a staphylococcus orbital cellulitis is presented and correlated with autopsy findings. A literature review and discussion of the risks and benefits of anti-coagulation in this setting is outlined.

transvenous embosurgery of a left sigmoid sinus dural arteriovenous fistula via a retrograde approach from the superior Ophthalmic Vein cavernous and inferior petrosal sinuses
Journal of NeuroInterventional Surgery, 2011Co-Authors: Delip V Patel, Rajesh Rangaswamy, Walter S Lesley, J L Hester, D K Mcdonald, J H TsaiAbstract:The efficacy and safety of transvenous embosurgery for sigmoid sinus dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) using the internal jugular Vein approach is well known. Embosurgery of cavernous sinus DAVF has also been described utilizing a superior Ophthalmic Vein approach. The first report of a sigmoid sinus DAVF endosurgical repair via a superior Ophthalmic Vein approach in a patient without internal jugular Vein access is presented.
