Carotid-cavernous sinus fistula associated with a primitive trigeminal artery

W C Cheng et al. Neurosurgery. 1990 Nov.

Carotid-cavernous sinus fistulas are not rare, but they have never been reported in association with persistent primitive trigeminal artery. We recently encountered such a case. The Jaeger-Hamby procedure was employed, with mandatory occlusion of the primitive trigeminal artery.
