Dural Cavernous Sinus Fistulas : Diagnosis and Endovascular Therapy Hardback
by Goetz Benndorf
Part of the Medical Radiology series
Hardback
Description
Dural cavernous sinus fistulas (DCSFs) are benign vascular diseases consisting in an arteriovenous shunt at the cavernous sinus that if misdiagnosed can lead to potentially serious ophthalmologic complications.
This volume provides a complete guide to the diagnosis and minimal invasive treatment of DCSFs.
After sections on anatomy and classification, etiology and pathogenesis of DCSFs, the symptomatology of the disease is described in detail.
The role of modern imaging techniques in the diagnosis of DCSFs is then addressed.
Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) remains the gold standard for clinical decision-making; here, full consideration is given to both, conventional 2D DSA and rotational 3D angiography.
Recent technological advances in this field such as Dual Volume (DV) imaging and angiographic computed tomography (ACT) are considered as well.
Due attention is further paid to the use of computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound.
Finally, the therapeutic management of DCSFs with emphasis on various transvenous occlusion techniques are discussed in depth.
This well-illustrated volume will be invaluable to all who may encounter DCSF in their clinical practice.
