title: Cook detachable coil embolization of a symptomatic, isolated orbital arteriovenous fistula via a superior ophthalmic vein approach.
abstract: Isolated arteriovenous fistulas of the posterior orbit occur with exceptional rarity, and their evaluation and management are not well characterized. We describe the clinical presentation and treatment of a spontaneous arteriovenous fistula of the right posterior orbit via a superior ophthalmic vein approach for embolization using platinum detachable coils.
