| This is a case demonstrating a combined traumatic lesion of the internal carotid artery (dissection and a carotid cavernous fistula [CCF]) in a patient who was beaten during a robbery and, while trying to escape, was hit by a vehicle. Endovascular approach for the treatment was chosen using the retrograde access from the vertebral artery to the cavernous sinus by posterior communicating (Pcom) artery due to the occlusion of the ipsilateral internal carotid. Because the artery access by the internal carotid was impossible, retrograde approach by vertebral artery and Pcom artery was done to treat the direct CCF. A patient presented with left hemiplegia and proptosis, chemosis, right eye ptosis. Computed tomography (CT) and CT angiography revealed a CCF of the right carotid. An arterial retrograde endovascular approach by the vertebral artery was used for CCF occlusion with coils. We present a rare case of a combined traumatic cerebrovascular lesion, right carotid artery dissection and a right direct CCF treated by a retrograde endovascular approach by the vertebral artery through the Pcom artery to reach the fistula point and achieved a complete cure of the CCF. |
