“…The need for treatment is debated as spontaneous occlusion is reported. 10 Furthermore, the criteria for selection of various treatment modalities, including craniotomy, radiosurgery, and transarterial or transvenous embolization, are not well established or based on outcome and complications. Surgery should be reserved for those who have failed treatment by less invasive measures such as radiosurgery and embolization.…”

“…Complete regression or improvement of symptoms due to spontaneous thrombosis is reported in 25%-90% of cases. [17][18][19][20] Whereas these reports include all types of cavernous sinus fistula, a previous study on patients with Barrow type B fistulas and without embolization found clinical cure in 69.6% of patients and improvement in 13% of patients. 21 For many years balloon embolization was the criterion standard for the treatment of direct AVF of the cavernous sinus.…”

Dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) of the cavernous sinus are acquired arteriovenous shunts between the dural branches of the internal and external carotid arteries and the cavernous sinus. These fistulas may present with cortical venous reflux, but more commonly drain antegradely toward the superior ophthalmic vein (SOV). Transvenous embolization is the most common endovascular treatment, but in some cases transvenous access to the compartment of the shunt may not be possible. In cases with no corticovenous reflux, manual compression of the SOV is an excellent alternative treatment, which is well known but rarely reported in the literature. The authors describe a series of 3 cavernous DAVFs with anterior drainage treated successfully by intermittent manual compression of the SOV.
