Evaluation for shunted pouches of cavernous sinus dural arteriovenous fistula and the treatment outcome of transvenous embolization.

Conclusions Rotational angiography data suggested that the shunted pouches of CSDAVFs were mostly located in the posterior compartment of the CS connected with the intercavernous sinus. Selective embolization for CSDAVFs with a single shunted pouch is the first-line treatment alternative to sinus packing, and selective embolization with multiple shunted pouches will be a considerable treatment option.
