Embolization of dural arteriovenous fistula of the cavernous sinus in 12 patients

Objective To evaluate the role of embolization in the treatment of dural arteriovenous fistula of the cavernous sinus. Methods Twelve patients were reviewed. Five patients were embolized via arterial approach with microgranules (3 patients) and cyanoacrylates (2 patients). One patient received n butyl isobutylcyanoacrylate NBCA embolization through a microcatheter at the cavernous sinus by arterial approach. Five patients were embolized via retrograde transvenous superior ophthalmic vein (SOV) approach with Mechanically Detachable System(MDS) and one via inferior petrosal sinus.Results Angiography immediately after embolization disclosed that the lesion were obliterated entirely in 8 cases and partially in 4 . And 2 of the patients who had been partially embolized had good clinical recovery in three months. Conclusion Transvenous embolization is a useful approach in the management of this lesion. Transarterial embolization is also selectable .
