To evaluate the prevalence and pattern of extraocular muscle enlargement and proptosis in patients with carotid cavernous fistulas (CCF). We conducted a retrospective study on patients with digital subtraction angiography (DSA) confirmed CCFs with neuroimaging (computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging) performed prior to the DSA. The maximum extraocular muscle diameters were recorded. Extraocular muscles were considered enlarged if they were greater than two standard deviations above the normal muscle diameters. Proptosis was defined as the distance between the interzygomatic line to the anterior globe of ≥2 mm compared to the contralateral orbit or ≥21 mm. Forty orbits from 20 patients were included. The mean age of participants was 65 ± 15 years and 13 (65%) were female. Thirteen (65%) fistulas were indirect and seven (35%) were direct. There was enlargement of at least one muscle in 11 (27.5%) orbits, and this was not correlated with the type of fistula (direct/indirect). The inferior rectus was most commonly enlarged in seven orbits (17.5%), followed by the medial rectus in five orbits (12.5%). Proptosis was found in 17 (43%) orbits and was more common ipsilateral to the fistula (58% ipsilateral group vs 19% contralateral group, p <.01). Extraocular muscle enlargement was observed in over one-fourth of CCFs. When enlarged, the inferior and medial rectus muscles are most commonly involved. These findings may help clinicians and radiologists when evaluating the CT or MRI scans of patients with suspected CCFs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
