Objective To investigate the diagnostic and therapeutic methods of dural arteriovenuoe fistula in carotid cavernous sinus region.Methods Twenty five cases of clinical diagnosis of dural arteriovenous fistula of carotid cavernous sinus region were identified by whole cerebral angiography with seldingers technique.Among them 13 cases underwent endovascular embolized therapy due to large amount of shunt,and another 12 cases were undertaken conservative method of compressing carotid artery of affected side on basis of lesser amount of shunt with a few number of feeding arteries.Results Conditions of the 25 cases revealed by DSA were selected for the proper indications and then underwent the formentioned therapy with all successful achievement.Conclusion Diagnosis of dural arteriovenous fistula of carotid cavernous sinus region is not difficult.Emdovascular embolization is very effective,but the conservative compressing method of carotid artery of the affected side is also an efficient therapy.(J Intervent Radiol,2006,15:195-197)
