Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
OBJECTIVE AND IMPORTANCE: Carotid cavernous fistulas (CCF) type-D are often refractory to endovascular treatment. Surgery for these lesions is a well-described alternative option. A case of combined pretemporal approach to the cavernous sinus and direct coiling of CCF is presented as well as treatment options in cases of recurrent and intractable fistulas. CLINICAL PRESENTATION: A 58-year-old woman with three years' history of double vision, headache, and numbness of the right upper extremity. On clinical examination she was noted to have congestion in the left eye with neurological examination without any deficits. Angiography revealed a type-D fistula. INTERVENTION: Patient underwent craniozygomatic pretemporal approach and direct coiling of the fistula. Intraoperative angiogram was done to confirm adequate obliteration of the fistula and preservation of flow in the parent artery. CONCLUSION: Although the first-line treatment option for symptomatic cavernous sinus fistulas is endovascular embolization, surgery is indicated in cases where it fails to achieve satisfactory results. This is especially important when the patient has progressive neurological deficit, and in cases of compromised venous drainage. Direct coil-assisted obliteration of the fistula is a successful treatment option for these lesions. Copyright © Congress of Neurological Surgeons.
