  • Title: Fistula of the posterior communicating artery and cavernous sinus.
    Author: Kinugasa K, Higashi H, Ohmoto T.
    Journal: AJNR Am J Neuroradiol; 1995 Sep; 16(8):1626-8. PubMed ID: 7502965.
    Abstract:
    A 24-year-old man was admitted with conjunctival hyperemia of the left eye and progressive chemosis and proptosis 1 month after a head injury. An angiogram showed an arterial-cavernous sinus fistula of the posterior communicating artery, which was treated with minicoils. The atypical configuration, transvenous embolization, and unusual nature of the communication suggested that communication developed through a newly generated vessel in granulation tissue.
