  • Title: Carotid-cavernous fistula. Demonstration of asymptomatic vascular "steal".
    Author: Barnes BD, Rosenblum ML, Pitts LH, Winestock DP, Parker H, Nohr ML.
    Journal: J Neurosurg; 1978 Jul; 49(1):49-55. PubMed ID: 660268.
    Abstract:
    Abnormal distribution of cerebral vascular flow was studied in a patient who had a traumatic carotid-cavernous sinus fistula. Serial studies were performed using a method for determining relative cerebral vascular flow:99mtechnetium-diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (99mTc-DTPA) was injected intravenously and flow data were processed by a digital computer. Serial studies documented the occurrence of a vascular "steal" during temporary carotid occlusion; postoperative studies showed disappearance of the steal and obliteration of thiling arterial structures and capillary filling in the brain, and in demonstrating alteration in the cerebral circulation.
