Background: Anterior cranial fossa dural arteriovenous fistulas (ACF-dAVFs) are aggressive vascular lesions. The pattern of venous drainage is the most important determinant of symptoms. Due to the absence of a venous sinus in the anterior cranial fossa, most ACF-dAVFs have some degree of drainage through small cortical veins. Read More

Patients with neurovascular disorders sometimes approach the ophthalmologists with mild ophthalmic clinical features such as conjunctival congestion, slowly progressive proptosis, lateral rectus palsies and at other times with ophthalmic emergencies like sudden increase in proptosis, ophthalmoplegia, diplopia, and ptosis before the onset of neurological manifestations which may be life-threatening if not detected in time. The aim of this article is to focus on ophthalmic manifestations of neurovascular emergencies and role of ophthalmologists in its management. In this communication, to make the ophthalmologist aware of clinical presentations, the imaging modality of choice, diagnostic features, medical and interventional treatments. Read More

Background: A cavernous sinus dural arteriovenous fistula (CS-DAVF) is a form of abnormal arteriovenous communication that can be treated with endovascular embolization. Establishing an optimal access route should be based on vascular architecture. We reviewed 64 CS-DAVF patients who underwent endovascular embolization and reported the endovascular treatment approach selection and outcome. Read More

Introduction And Importance: The oro-antral communication (OAC) is a pathological opening between the maxillary sinus and the oral cavity. When it does not close spontaneously or if it is not treated, it remains permeable and epithelializes to develop into an oro-antral fistula (OAF) and can cause maxillary sinusitis.Cases Presentation: The authors present through 5 clinical cases the different steps of the surgical protocols opting for the buccal fat pad flap and the advanced buccal flap to treat OAF/OAC.
