Background: With the evolution of the endovascular devices, the management of endovascular interventions has become the current standard therapy for traumatic carotid-cavernous fistula (TCCF). However, only endovascular treatment may not be feasible in some patients with atypical TCCF.
Case Description: We described three complex TCCFs that could not be managed by conventional endovascular methods.
Self-locking stand-alone cages have increasingly been used in anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) cervical degenerative disc disease. We studied clinical and radiological outcomes of patients who underwent zero-profile anchored spacer (ROI-C)-assisted ACDF without anterior plate fixation in cervical adjacent segment disease. Fifteen patients suffering from cervical adjacent segment disease with various symptoms, such as radiculopathy, myelopathy, or both, were retrospectively evaluated.

- The study reviewed cases of spinal epidural arteriovenous fistulas (SEAVFs) at a medical institution, focusing on patient demographics, symptoms, treatment, and outcomes from June 2010 to August 2020.
- A total of 9 cases were identified, with a median age of 67 years, where all patients had associated spinal stenosis and/or disc herniation.
- The findings suggest that SEAVFs may develop as a result of acquired conditions in older adults, possibly due to increased venous pressure from related spinal issues.
