arteriovenous malformations

18
Q

treatment of arteriovenous malformations (SS)

A
  • selective occlusion (blockage) of the feeding vessels
  • surgical excision
19
Q

acquired lesions characterized by abnormal direct communication between an artery and a vein

A

arteriovenous fistulas

20
Q

blood flow does not pass through an intervening capillary bed

A

arteriovenous fistulas

21

2 forms of acquired arterial diversion that affect the cavernous sinus

A

direct carotid-cavernous fistulas & indirect,or dural,carotid-cavernous fistulas

22
Q

TRUE/FALSE: Direct carotid-cavernous fistulas is a connection between meningeal branches of the internal carotid artery and the cavernous sinus

A

FALSE

23
Q

typically occur after a trauma

A

direct carotid-cavernous fistulas

24
Q

connection between the internal carotid artery and the cavernous sinus

A

direct carotid-cavernous fistulas

25
Q

characteristics of direct carotid-cavernous fistulas (TPIEO)

A
  • tortuous conjunctival blood vessels
  • pulsatile proptosis
  • ischemic ocular damage
  • elevated IOP
  • ocular motility abnormalities
26
Q

complications for direct carotid-cavernous fistulas (CED)

A
  • compression of cranial nerves III, IV & VI
  • EOM palsies
  • diffuse enlargement of EOM
27
Q

connection between meningeal branches of the internal or external carotid artery or both and the cavernous sinus

A

indirect, or dural,carotid-cavernous fistulas

28
Q

indirect carotid-cavernous fistulas is a degenerative process in older Px’s with (SVA)

A
  • systemic hypertension
  • vascular disease
  • atherosclerosis
29
Q

characteristics of an indirect carotid-cavernous fistulas (OMPPCA)

A
  • onset can be gradual
  • mild orbital congestion
  • proptosis
  • pain
  • chronic red eye
  • asymmetric elevation of IOP
30
Q

risks of indirect carotid-cavernous fistulas

A
  • glaucomatous optic
  • disc damage
31
Q

treatment for arteriovenous fistulas

A

coil embolization

32
Q

this is placing a small platinum coil where the abnormal connection is located; this also separates the blood flow of the carotid arteries from that of the veins

A

coil embolization

33
Q

what’s the result of coil embolization

A

blood can drain properly from the eyes
