At the same time, patients should also have a certain understanding of its treatment methods, so as to reduce the psychological burden and correctly deal with the disease. Let's take a look at the following.

How to treat carotid cavernous fistula

First: vascular ligation, simple vascular ligation, through the neck ligation of the common carotid artery, internal carotid artery or external carotid artery, some patients have been cured. Because the blood supply of fistula is disordered, most cases can not be completely cured or relapse after treatment,

Second, the more complete method is cavernous sinus isolation. The internal carotid artery was ligated in the neck, and then craniotomy was performed. Before the posterior communicating branch was separated, the internal carotid artery was closed with a silver clip. The posterior orbital apex and the upper wall of the optic canal were removed, and the ophthalmic artery was closed with a silver clip outside the optic nerve. The main access of internal carotid artery in cavernous sinus was blocked. This kind of operation is suitable for the treatment of high flow fistula.

Third: the above method is the earliest choice for the treatment of this disease, which can make some patients recover, or the performance and physical signs have different degrees of relief, but most cases can not recover or recur after recovery, and can form cerebral ischemia, which is rarely used at present.
