Unilateral proptosis and chemosis caused by dural arteriovenous malformation of the superior sagittal sinus

We describe a patient with unilateral proptosis and chemosis resulting from a dural arteriovenous malformation (AVM) ofthe superior sagittal sinus (SSS) fed mainly by branchesofboth externalcarotid arteries. The symptoms may have been caused by increased SSS pressure and disturbance of venous flow b...

Description
Summary:We describe a patient with unilateral proptosis and chemosis resulting from a dural arteriovenous malformation (AVM) ofthe superior sagittal sinus (SSS) fed mainly by branchesofboth externalcarotid arteries. The symptoms may have been caused by increased SSS pressure and disturbance of venous flow by the dural AVM.
