Early discovery of a traumatic carotid-cavernous sinus fistula by jugular venous oxygen saturation monitoring. Case report.

J Neurosurg

Department of Anesthesiology, Hôpital de Hautepierre, Strasbourg, France.

Published: November 1995

This report describes the early diagnosis, due to an acute increase of jugular venous oxygen saturation occurring 20 hours after trauma, of a traumatic carotid-cavernous sinus fistula after severe head injury. Hyperemia in severe head injury should be treated only after an intracerebral arteriovenous communication has been excluded.
