  • Title: Early discovery of a traumatic carotid-cavernous sinus fistula by jugular venous oxygen saturation monitoring. Case report.
    Author: Calon B, Freys G, Launoy A, Boyer P, Tongio J, Pottecher T.
    Journal: J Neurosurg; 1995 Nov; 83(5):910-1. PubMed ID: 7472563.
    Abstract:
    This report describes the early diagnosis, due to an acute increase of jugular venous oxygen saturation occurring 20 hours after trauma, of a traumatic carotid-cavernous sinus fistula after severe head injury. Hyperemia in severe head injury should be treated only after an intracerebral arteriovenous communication has been excluded.
