Associazione di fistola durale del seno cavernoso ed aneurisma endocranico

Abstract

English

Le malformazioni durali artero-venose intracraniche o fistole durali sono lesioni rare (10–15% di tutte le malformazioni artero-venose intracraniche). Per quanto a nostra conoscenza, non sono riportate in letteratura associazioni tra MAV durali ed aneurisma intracranico. Riportiamo un caso di associazione di una fistola durale del seno cavernoso con un aneurisma dell'arteria carotide interna omolaterale. La paziente è stata sottoposta a trattamento embolizzante della fistola durale e, successivamente, a «clippaggio» dell'aneurisma, ottenendo un buon risultato. Vengono discusse le ipotesi eziopatogenetiche e l'inquadramento nosografico di tale rara associazione nell'ambito di una breve revisione della letteratura.
