AbstractIndividuals with trisomy 21 have an 80% risk reduction of vascular anomalies compared with general population. However, an association of trisomy 21 and portal vascular and arteriovenous anomalies has been defined in the literature. The primary hemodynamic abnormality in portal hypertension is increased resistance to portal blood flow. In various case reports in adults and pediatric age group patients, transarterial coil embolization of hepatoportal fistula was described. One of the authors of this article has previously reported successful treatment of congenital arterioportal fistula (APF) with percutaneous transhepatic liquid embolization in a patient who previously had transarterial coil embolization. To date, eight patients with trisomy 21 (Down syndrome) and congenital portosystemic shunts were reported of which four were treated with embolization. Here, we describe a 3-month-old infant with trisomy 21 and intrahepatic APF associated with extrahepatic portal hypertension and massive ascites. In the current report, a rare case of a patient with a diagnosis of trisomy 21 is discussed who was attempted to be treated with transarterial coil embolization and percutaneous transhepatic liquid embolization of the congenital APF in a single session.

Introduction Blunt head trauma can injure the cavernous segment of the internal carotid artery (ICA). This may result in a carotid cavernous fistula (CCF). Rarely, a traumatic aneurysm may bleed medially causing massive epistaxis. Case presentation We present two cases of traumatic intracavernous carotid pseudoaneurysms with delayed massive epistaxis. The patients were managed with endovascular treatment involving coil embolization with parent vessel sparing and detachable balloon occlusion with carotid sacrifice. Early clinical outcome was good in both patients. Wherever possible, the CARE1 guidelines were followed in the reporting. Conclusion These cases illustrate the delayed nature of traumatic aneurysms and the need for a high index of suspicion in the presence of skull base fractures. The use of endovascular detachable balloon occlusion and coil embolization treatment with parent vessel preservation is shown.
