title: Transvenous embolization of a dural arteriovenous fistula of the cavernous sinus through the contralateral pterygoid plexus.
abstract: We report a new transvenous endovascular route for treatment of dural arteriovenous fistulas of the cavernous sinus. The cavernous sinus was approached from the contralateral pterygoid plexus and embolization of a dural fistula was performed successfully with Guglielmi detachable coils.
