Abstract

Studying the results of treatment of intrathoracic epidural fistula by intervention with intravenous sinus ballon protection. Objects and methods: Patients with epidural fistula causes of veins outside the cavernous sinus, are treated by intervene the arteries with Onyx embolization, and also have access to the intravenous route , using to insert the balloon protect the sinuses. Results: With 15 patients have treated, 13 patients had 1 fistular route, 2 patients had 2 independent fistula route, of which mainly groups IIa, IIb, IIa + b, accounting for 94% according to Cognard classification. The main route of access to the artery is the middle meningeal (100% of patients) and the occipital branch (88.2% of patients). As a result, the total occlusion  in 13 patients, (86.7%)no signs of symptoms in 8 patients (53.3%), improved symtoms in 4 patients (26.7%), there were 4 cases of internal complications. 1 case of mRS 5 (6.7%).Conclusion: Treatment of periosteal epidural arterial fistula with a balloon to protect the venous sinus is effective and minimizes the risk.
