Title Arteriovenous Communication in the Orbit
Creator Kim, AW; Kosmorsky, GS
Affiliation Cole Eye Institute, Cleveland Clinic Division of Ophthalmology, Ohio, USA.
Abstract Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are anomalous communications between arterial and venous systems without interposed capillaries. These lesions are rarely entirely intraorbital. A case of an arteriovenous communication between branches of the internal and external carotid arterial circulations and the ophthalmic veins located within the orbit is reported. Treatment with embolization resulted in a branch retinal artery occlusion. Attempted direct arterial occlusion of a dural-based fistula of the eye is a risky procedure. If embolized, AVMs should probably be approached from the venous side, if at all.
