Evaluation and follow-up of carotid-cavernous fistulas by transcranial Doppler sonography: illustrative case.

摘要: The availability of transcranial Doppler sonography has resulted in an easy, noninvasive, reproducible, and highly reliable method for evaluating the flow characteristics carotid-cavernous sinus fistulas. It also allows follow-up effect different interventional measures, specifically, embolization with detachable balloons. An illustrative case is reported, which findings serial sonograms are correlated on computed tomographic scans angiograms. impact our future approaches to hemodynamic classification these acquired vascular shunts discussed.
