Abstract
Background: Transarterial embolization (TAE) is generally the endovascular treatment of choice for tentorial dural arteriovenous fistula (dAVF). Although flow control of the feeder vessel has been reported to achieve complete shunt blockade, flow control in the absence of ischemia tolerance of ICA as a feeder has not been reported. we present a case in which treatment by Onyx TAE with intermittent flow control of the meningohypophyseal trunk (MHT) as the feeder was successful for a tentorial dAVF presenting with myelopathy without tolerance of ischemia.
Methods: The intermittent flow control is presented for a tentorial dAVF presenting with myelopathy without tolerance for ischemia. An inflation of the balloon in the internal carotid artery was set for 5 minutes, and the Onyx injection was repeated at intervals of at least 2 minutes. Injections and pauses were repeated to allow Onyx to reach the shunt pouch.
Results: The patient underwent successful TAE with intermittent flow control for a tentorial dAVF presenting with myelopathy. The disappearance of the shunt was confirmed with gait disturbance resolution postoperatively.
Conclusion: Intermittent flow control of the MHT using a balloon may be safe and effective for cases showing no tolerance for ischemia.
期刊介绍:
World Neurosurgery has an open access mirror journal World Neurosurgery: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
The journal''s mission is to:
-To provide a first-class international forum and a 2-way conduit for dialogue that is relevant to neurosurgeons and providers who care for neurosurgery patients. The categories of the exchanged information include clinical and basic science, as well as global information that provide social, political, educational, economic, cultural or societal insights and knowledge that are of significance and relevance to worldwide neurosurgery patient care.
-To act as a primary intellectual catalyst for the stimulation of creativity, the creation of new knowledge, and the enhancement of quality neurosurgical care worldwide.
-To provide a forum for communication that enriches the lives of all neurosurgeons and their colleagues; and, in so doing, enriches the lives of their patients.
Topics to be addressed in World Neurosurgery include: EDUCATION, ECONOMICS, RESEARCH, POLITICS, HISTORY, CULTURE, CLINICAL SCIENCE, LABORATORY SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, OPERATIVE TECHNIQUES, CLINICAL IMAGES, VIDEOS
