Transarterial embolization of radicular arteriovenous fistula at the craniocervical junction
Craniocervical junction arteriovenous fistula (CCJ AVF) is a rare vascular disorder. Direct surgery for CCJ AVF is generally reported to have better outcome compared to endovascular treatment. However, no certain consensus has been obtained so far. We report a case of radicular CCJ AVF treated by tr...

| description | Craniocervical junction arteriovenous fistula (CCJ AVF) is a rare vascular disorder. Direct surgery for CCJ AVF is generally reported to have better outcome compared to endovascular treatment. However, no certain consensus has been obtained so far. We report a case of radicular CCJ AVF treated by transarterial embolization that resulted in a good outcome. A 69-year-old man presented with subarachnoid hemorrhage primarily in the posterior cranial fossa. Based on digital subtraction angiography showed radicular CCJ AVF with varix. Transarterial embolization was performed with n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate on day 17 after onset and successfully cured. The neurovascular anatomy of CCJ AVF is complicated, but endovascular treatment may be a treatment option with detailed understanding of angioarchitecture and selective endovascular procedure. |
