Resumen

Las complicaciones vasculares en relación con los procedimientos percutáneos para el tratamiento de la neuralgia del trigémino están generalmente relacionadas con la perforación local arterial o venosa, que puede determinar la aparición de un hematoma o, más raramente, una fístula carotidocavernosa. Sin embargo, la presencia de una fístula extracraneal, dependiente del sistema de la carótida externa, constituye una complicación extremadamente rara. Los autores presentan un caso de fístula arteriovenosa postpunción que sirve para documentar la complicación referida, y revisan la literatura al respecto.

Palabras clave:
Neuralgia del trigémino
Fístula arteriovenosa
Microcompresión percutánea
Summary

Vascular complications after percutaneous procedures for the control of trigeminal neuralgia are usualIy related to the puncture of arterial or venous structures, which may cause local hematomas or, more rarely, carotid-cavernous fistulae. However, the occurrence of an extracranial arteriovenous fistula, depending on the external carotid artery, is, to our knowledge, an extremely rare event. The authors present the case of a patient who developed such an extracranial complication. The literature is reviewed.

Key words:
Trigeminal neuralgia
Arteriovenous fistula
Percutaneous microcompression
