Abstract
The current therapies for traumatic carotid-cavernous sinus fistula (tCCF) yield a variable rate of recurrence and produce different results. We analyzed factors among traumatic head injury to identify the risk factors in recurrent tCCFs. We retrospectively reviewed patients who were diagnosed with tCCFs from January 2004 to December 2014 in a tertiary referral center. The factors that were analyzed included age, sex, associated injury, clinical presentation, interval from injury to interventions, interventions for tCCFs, and pathologic characters of tCCFs under digital subtraction angiography. A total of 55 patients with 56 tCCFs (1 bilateral tCCF) were included. Thirty-nine patients (40 tCCFs) were treated successfully in single session of a procedure, whereas 16 patients (16 tCCFs) experienced a recurrence of tCCF. In multivariate analysis, we found that the involvement of C2 or C4 segments (Debrun classification) of intracavernous internal carotid artery is an independent risk factor (hazard ratio [HR] 2.95, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] 1.34-6.52; P < 0.01) for the recurrence of tCCFs. Endovascular coil embolization demonstrated superior efficacy in successful interventions of tCCFs compared with detachable balloons (HR...Continue Reading
