Cirsoid aneurysm treatment by percutaneous injection of sodium tetradecyl sulfate

Abstract

Cirsoid aneurysms are uncommon arteriovenous fistulas of the scalp. Surgery for these lesions can be difficult; transarterial embolization is rarely curative, while embolization of the venous pouch with permanent agents usually necessitates subsequent surgical removal of the embolic material. The ideal embolic agent would be one that is safe and effective, commercially available, and would not require subsequent removal. We treated an arteriovenous fistula of the scalp with direct puncture and injection of sodium tetradecyl sulfate, a commercially available sclerosing agent. Control angiography immediately following percutaneous injection of sotradecol into the fistula showed decreased flow but not complete closure of the lesion. However, within several days of the embolization, the patient's scalp pain and mass resolved. Four months after embolization, MRA demonstrated no evidence of residual or recurrent fistula. Color doppler flow imaging demonstrated only slightly decreased vascular resistance in the distal superficial temporal artery, possibly indirect evidence of persistent micro-fistulae. Twenty-three months after the procedure, the patient continued to be asymptomatic and had no palpable lesion. Percutaneous injection o...Continue Reading
