ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To retrospectively review the outcome of patients with dural arteriovenous fistula of the anterior cranial fossa (afDAVF) treated by transarterial embolization. MATERIAL ANDMETHODS:
Six consecutive patients were referred to our hospital for afDAVF treatment. After a multidisciplinary discussion, they underwent endovascular embolization with Onyx injection through the ophthalmic artery. Their clinical presentation, management and outcomes were retrospectively assessed.RESULTS:
All interventions were performed with the liquid embolic agent Onyx through the transarterial route from the ophthalmic artery to access the fistulous point. All patients showed a good outcome with complete afDAVF obliteration.CONCLUSION:
This study demonstrates that afDAVFs can be safely and completely obliterated by transarterial embolization via the ophthalmic artery.Palavras-chave
