Abstract

Objective: To present the results of our alternative treatment of indirect carotid- cavernous sinus fistulas.

Results: Complete fistulas obliteration was accompanied by recovery of the clinical symptoms.

Conclusion: The surgical SOV approach might be sufficient when standard endovascular intervention does not succeed. The technique is safe and effective when performed by an interdisciplinary team.
