Iatrogenic carotid-cavernous fistula occurring after embolization of a cavernous sinus meningioma

J D Barr et al. AJNR Am J Neuroradiol. 1995 Mar.

Abstract

A carotid-cavernous fistula developed in a 62-year-old woman during an attempt at embolization of a skull base meningioma. The cause is thought to be perforation by the guide wire during catheterization of the meningohypophyseal trunk at the sharp bend at its origin.
