Intermittent Manual Carotid Compression as a Treatment Option for Indirect Low Flow Carotid Cavernous Fistula.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of intermittent manual carotid compression (IMCC) in the management of low-flow carotid cavernous fistulae (CCF).

Materials And Methods: Patients diagnosed with low-flow CCF and treated with IMCC over a period of 13 years were retrospectively analyzed. Data analyzed included demographic details, clinical features, type of CCF, and response to therapy.

Transcatheter arterial embolization of an orbital lymphoma.

A 69-year-old male patient presented with painless protrusion of his left eye for 6 months. A large, anterior orbital vascular mass was seen in the superior conjunctival fornix. Neuroimaging and Doppler studies revealed a highly vascular circumscribed, enhancing mass lesion in the superior orbit.

Superior ophthalmic vein thrombosis post manual carotid compression for indirect carotid-cavernous fistula.

Purpose: To report 5 cases of superior ophthalmic vein thrombosis (SOVT) following intermittent manual carotid compression (IMCC) for indirect carotid-cavernous fistula (CCF) and to outline the management.

Methods: Retrospective observational case series of all patients who developed SOVT secondary to IMCC for indirect low flow CCF's at a tertiary care center. The demographic profile, clinical, imaging findings, treatment, and outcomes were studied.

Intraocular Pressure in the Eyes of Patients With Carotid-Cavernous Fistulas: Profile, Intereye Asymmetry, and Treatment Outcomes.

Precis: Secondary ocular hypertension (OHT) is common in carotid-cavernous fistulas (CCFs). Management of elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is possible with a multidisciplinary approach. The ipsilateral normal eyes may have higher IOP than the contralateral eyes.

Rare Intracranial Recurrent Meningioma with Unique Coexisting Atypical, Papillary and Lipomatous Component: Case Report and Review of Literature.

Background: Meningiomas are common central nervous system tumors with a wide range of morphologic variants, the pathogenesis being their complex embryogenesis. Intracranial meningiomas with heterogenous histopathology in the same lesion are common in low-grade meningiomas but less frequent in recurrent and high-grade variants.

Case Description: A 75-year-old male presented elsewhere a year ago with complaints of slurred speech.

Visual impairment in high flow and low flow carotid cavernous fistula.

Our aim is to study the varied posterior segment manifestations, level of visual impairment (VI) and its causes in carotid cavernous fistula (CCF) patients. A retrospective study was done, wherein data was obtained from 48 digital subtraction angiogram (DSA) proven CCF patients. CCF was classified according to Barrow et al.

A Time Bomb Defused, In Time! A Traumatic Optic Neuropathy To Be Wary Of.

Authors describe a case of traumatic pseudoaneurysm of cavernous internal carotid artery in a young male who presented with complaints of progressive decrease in vision, inability to move the eye, and delayed epistaxis 8 months after the head injury sustained during a motor vehicle accident. The presence of optic atrophy and epistaxis in the setting of head trauma alerted the authors to look for this potentially life-threatening condition. Timely intervention in the form of endovascular coil occlusion of the internal carotid artery was performed and the epistaxis stopped without any ischaemic or thromboembolic sequaelae.

Combined approach to management of periocular arteriovenous malformation by interventional radiology and surgical excision.

Periorbital arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are congenital lesions that may cause significant morbidity such as amblyopia, cosmetic disfigurement, or chronic pain. Due to the rarity of these lesions, they are frequently misdiagnosed and treated inappropriately. We managed a 6-year-old girl with preseptal AVM by endovascular embolization followed by complete surgical excision after 2 days.

Obliteration of giant corpus callosum AVM with linac based stereotactic radiosurgery.

Successful management of large AVMs is difficult. Traditionally they are considered less responsive and even unsuitable for radiosurgery. This case report demonstrates total angiographic obliteration in a complex, large corpus callosum AVM (volume 36.
