Diagnosis of Traumatic Carotid-Cavernous Sinus Fistula by Monitoring Venous Oxygen Saturation in the Jugular Bulb: Report of Two Cases

Abstract

These cases add another diagnostic role to cerebral venous oxygen saturation monitoring. When high cerebral venous oxygen saturation values rapidly or abruptly reach arterial oxygen saturation, the presence of a CCF must be considered and confirmed by arterial angiography.
