title: Superior petrosal sinus catheterization for transvenous embolization of a dural carotid cavernous sinus fistula.
abstract: We report the endovascular treatment of a dural carotid cavernous fistula in a 67-year-old woman in whom superior petrosal sinus catheterization was performed to access the venous site of the fistula. To our knowledge, this retrograde venous route via the superior petrosal sinus has not been previously described.
