    Author: Cohen JE, Gomori JM, Grigoriadis S, Rajz G.
    Journal: Neurol Res; 2008 Jul; 30(6):649-51. PubMed ID: 18489820.
    Abstract:
    Congenital dural arteriovenous fistulas have been infrequently described in pediatric population and they generally affect the transverse, sigmoid, straight or sagittal sinuses. Congenital carotid-cavernous fistulas in infancy are considered very rare and to our knowledge, only four cases have been reported in literature. Currently, the preferred treatment is endovascular embolization through trans-arterial route. We review the literature on congenital carotid cavernous fistulas in infancy focusing on the endovascular treatment of this rare entity and present our experience.
