Dural cavernous sinus fistula (DCSF) is a benign disease that is often misdiagnosed and may lead to a variety of serious complications. This volume provides a complete guide to the diagnosis and treatment of DCSF. After sections on anatomy, classification of fistulas and the etiology and pathogenesis of DCSF, the symptomatology of the disease is described in detail. The role of modern imaging techniques in diagnosis is then addressed. Intra-arterial digital subtraction angiography remains the gold standard for clinical decision-making; here, full consideration is given to both conventional intra-arterial angiography and 3D rotational angiography. Due attention is also paid to the use of computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound. Finally, the various transvenous techniques for successful endovascular treatment of DCSF are discussed in depth. This well-illustrated volume will be invaluable to all who may encounter DCSF in clinical practice.

From the reviews: "This textbook is clearly the best book or monograph ever written concerning the history, etiology, pathophysiology, radiology, management, and neurosurgical treatment of carotid cavernous sinus fistulas and dural arteriovenous malformations. ... This book is made for angiographers, neurologists, neurosurgeons, neuroophthalmologists, and any student or physician interested in neurology & neurosurgery." (Joseph J. Grenier, Amazon.com, September, 2013) "This is a very special book: it addresses a very difficult, peculiar topic yet special; special because the topic is treated with incredible ease, showing the author's profound knowledge of anatomy, clinical situations and findings, diagnostic procedures and ensuing therapeutic options and end-results. ... a 'must have' book for all those who deal with this sort of problem: interventional radiologists, neurosurgeons and neurologists, and 'optional' for the general radiologist who wants to keep in touch with the advances in this peculiar field of radiology." (Giampiero Beluffi, Radiologia Medica, Vol. 116, 2011) "This book describes important historical considerations, and succinctly describes the anatomical, pathological and imaging features of the DCSFs. ... The book is excellently well illustrated with high quality numerous informative CT, MR, and DSA images. It provides a secure platform from which neurological specialists can build their understanding of the considered conditions and their potential treatment options. ... present a very nice summary of this interesting neurovascular topic. Overall the book is an excellent addition to the current literature."--- (Waleed Alhajii, European Radiology, Vol. 21, 2011)
