ABSTRACT Transarterial embolization (TAE) is a useful option for anterior cranial fossa–dural arteriovenous fistula (ACF–dAVF) as endovascular devices have progressed. Liquid agents are usually injected via a microcatheter positioned just proximal to the shunt pouch beyond the ophthalmic artery; however, high blood flow from the internal maxillary artery (IMA) often impedes penetration of embolic materials into the shunt pouch. Therefore, reducing blood flow from the IMA before embolization can increase the success rate. In the present case, to reduce blood flow from branches of the IMA, we inserted surgical gauze infiltrated with xylocaine and epinephrine into bilateral nasal cavities. Using this method, we achieved curative TAE with minimal damage to the nasal mucosa. Transnasal flow reduction is an easy, effective and minimally invasive method. This method should be considered in the endovascular treatment of ACF–dAVF, especially in patients with high blood flow from theIMA.

AbstractSchwannomas are benign tumors, which arise from the Schwann cells of the central or peripheral nerves. They form 8% of all intracranial tumors and most of the cases arise from vestibular division of the 8th cranial nerve. Rare cases are shown to arise from the olfactory or optic nerve, being devoid of myelin sheath. Up to date and according to our best of knowledge, 66 cases have been reported till now. Here we present a review of the literature and a case report of a 56-year-old male with an accidently discovered anterior cranial fossa schwannoma, following a road traffic accident. Tumor was completely excised, using a right frontal approach. Histopathology revealed Antoni-A cellular pattern. Although rare, but olfactory nerve schwannomas should be included in the differential diagnosis in anterior cranial fossa space occupying lesions, and the approach should be designed taking into consideration, this rare entity.
