Transvenous embolization of a carotid-cavernous fistula via the inferior ophthalmic vein: illustrative case
CCF embolization is rarely performed through the IOV, with only 5 reported cases in the literature. This case demonstrates that the procedure can be easily performed if the anatomy is favorable over the superior ophthalmic vein, with the illustration of good cosmetic outcomes. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE24183.
