Cook detachable coil embolization of a symptomatic, isolated orbital arteriovenous fistula via a superior ophthalmic vein approach

Isolated arteriovenous fistulas of the posterior orbit occur with exceptional rarity, and their evaluation and management are not well characterized. We describe the clinical presentation and treatment of a spontaneous arteriovenous fistula of the right posterior orbit via a superior ophthalmic vein...

Zusammenfassung:	Isolated arteriovenous fistulas of the posterior orbit occur with exceptional rarity, and their evaluation and management are not well characterized. We describe the clinical presentation and treatment of a spontaneous arteriovenous fistula of the right posterior orbit via a superior ophthalmic vein approach for embolization using platinum detachable coils.
