The natural history of proximal, feeding-artery aneurysms after successful obliteration of high-grade, anterior cranial fossa dural arteriovenous fistulas (dAVFs) has not been well documented.
A 52-year-old Caucasian male presented with an unruptured anterior cranial fossa (dAVF) and an associated aneurysm. Cerebral angiography revealed a large, contralateral, carotid-ophthalmic segment aneurysm, enlarged feeding ophthalmic arteries, as well as cortical venous drainage. Successful surgical obliteration of the dAVF was undertaken to eliminate the risk of hemorrhage.
The carotid-ophthalmic aneurysm regressed significantly after surgical obliteration of the dAVF and a follow-up, planned coiling procedure to address the carotid-ophthalmic aneurysm was abandoned. This represents the first reported case of a near complete, spontaneous resolution of an unruptured carotid-ophthalmic aneurysm associated with a high-grade anterior cranial fossa dAVF.
在成功闭塞高级别前颅窝硬脑膜动静脉瘘(dAVF)后,近端供血动脉动脉瘤的自然病史尚未得到充分记录。
一名52岁的白种男性,患有未破裂的前颅窝dAVF及相关动脉瘤。脑血管造影显示,对侧有一个大型颈内动脉眼动脉段动脉瘤,眼动脉供血增粗,伴有皮质静脉引流。为消除出血风险,成功实施了dAVF手术闭塞。
dAVF手术闭塞后,颈内动脉眼动脉瘤显著缩小,因此放弃了后续计划的针对颈内动脉眼动脉瘤的弹簧圈栓塞治疗。这是首例报道的与高级别前颅窝dAVF相关的未破裂颈内动脉眼动脉瘤近乎完全自发消退的病例。
