We report a new transvenous endovascular route for treatment of dural arteriovenous fistulas of the cavernous sinus. The cavernous sinus was approached from the contralateral pterygoid plexus and embolization of a dural fistula was performed successfully with Guglielmi detachable coils.

In this research, the authors provide a retrospective cohort study of 82 patients with suprasellar meningiomas to identify predictors of the visual outcome following surgery. We also conducted a matched retrospective case-control analysis. This retrospective cohort study included all patients who underwent craniotomy for surgical excision of suprasellar meningiomas at our institution between January 2016 and March 2022.

Orbital apex syndrome (OAS) is characterized by visual loss, ophthalmoplegia, ptosis, and orbital pain. This study aims to analyze neuro-ophthalmologic outcomes of OAS resulting from invasive fungal rhinosinusitis (IFS). This retrospective study analyzed 25 patients diagnosed with OAS resulting from IFS between January 2018 and July 2022.

A paediatric patient presented with periorbital oedema and fever. Initially, there was low suspicion for cavernous sinus thrombosis and orbital cellulitis due to the presence of full extraocular movements. However, given worsening bilateral periorbital oedema, lethargy and sepsis, neuroimaging was performed demonstrating inflammation and enhancement of the leptomeninges and left cavernous sinus, and raising concern for cavernous sinus thrombosis in the setting of orbital cellulitis.

Background: Direct carotid-cavernous fistulas (CCFs) are relatively rare but dangerous complications of penetrating traumatic brain injury or maxillofacial trauma. A variety of clinical signs have been described, including ophthalmological and neurological ones. In some cases, severely altered cerebral blood flow can present as massive life-threatening bleeding through the nose, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and/or intraparenchymal hemorrhage.
