Bahar, a., pranata, j., gunawan, a., soraya, g.V.Clinical characteristics, angiographic fndings and treatment outcomes of carotid cavernous fstula in makassar, indonesia: a single-centre experience.Egypt j neurol psychiatry neurosurg.2023.59:29.Doi: 10.1186 /s41983-023-00630-w summary: carotid cavernous fstula (ccf) is an abnormal arteriovenous shunt between the carotid artery or its branches, with the cavernous sinus.It is still common in developing countries, and is mostly due to traumatic origin.Endovascular treatment has emerged as the primary mode of treatment of ccf.This is the frst study describing the clinical manifestation, angiographic characteristic, and the challenges we face in endovascular treatment of ccf cases in makassar, indonesia.Results this descriptive study was conducted between january 2019 to march 2022.We reviewed medical records and angiograms of all patients diagnosed with ccf at the wahidin general hospital, makassar.Clinical manifestations, angiogram results, treatment, and outcome data were analyzed.A total of 23 patients were included in this study, with 17 (73.9%) direct ccf (barrow type a) and 6 (26.1%) indirect ccf (barrow type b, c, d).The mean age of patients were 32 years old.The three most common clinical manifestations were proptosis (n=21, 91.3%), headache (n=14, 60.8%), and chemosis (n=14, 60.8%).The three most common drainage routes were via the superior ophthalmic vein (n=23, 100%), inferior petrosal sinus (n=12, 52.1%), and superfcial middle cerebral vein (n=6, 26.0%).All patients with direct ccf (n=17) had endovascular treatment, resulting in 13 cases with complete occlusion (76.5%), 3 cases with incomplete occlusion (17.6%), and 1 (5.9%) procedu re cancelled due to difcult navigation.Occlusion of fstula was best achieved with detachable coil, with a technical success rate of 90%.In indirect ccf (n=6), 4 patients were treated conservatively and 2 with endovascular treatment, with complete occlusion in 2 patients.Carotid cavernous fstula patients commonly presented with orbital symptoms, headache, or neuroophthalmologic signs.The most common drainage pattern is via anterior route.Posterior, superior and lateral drainage were not found in indirect ccf.Endovascular treatment is an efective method for fstula closure, especially in the case of direct fstula.Challenges in endovascular treatment are related to the anatomy of the fstula and cavernous sinus.Reported events: endovascular treatment was performed using transarterial approach with evoh and in one patient combined with coil.The reason for the failure to achieve complete occlusion was difficulty of access, due to the feeder artery¿s small diameter.
