We report the first case of a post-traumatic direct carotid cavernous fistula (CCF) treated with the XCalibur aneurysm occlusion device, which is a balloon mounted stent with flow diversion effect. Two devices were deployed across the fistula in an overlapping manner, resulting in complete occlusion of the fistula. Flow diversion with this device can provide a safe and alternative treatment option in direct CCF.

Demyelinating lesions of the central nervous system (CNS) are classically known to be hypometabolic on 18 F-Flurodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography ( 18 F-FDG PET). However, demyelinating lesions may show increased tracer uptake on 18 F-FDG PET and can radiologically mimic neoplasm. Delayed tracer uptake on FDG PET is one of the diagnostic hallmarks of primary CNS lymphoma (PCNSL). Here, we present two cases in which the brain lesions showed increased FDG uptake on delayed integrated PET Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), which were pathologically proven as CNS demyelination. Such demyelinating lesions may also act as “sentinel lesions” and potential harbinger of PCNSL on follow-up.
