OBJECTIVE: Scalp cirsoid aneurysms are subcutaneous arteriovenous fistulae fed by branches of the external carotid artery. They present with progressive scalp swelling and cosmetic deformities in addition to neuro-vascular symptoms. We evaluate the treatment and outcome of this rare vascular lesion with surgery and adjunctive endovascular embolisation performed by a dual-trained neurosurgeon.
METHODS: A retrospective analysis of 6 cases operated over a 16 year-period was performed which comprised of clinical data, radiology including angiography and pre-operative embolisation, surgical approaches, outcomes and complications.
RESULTS: 6 patients with ages ranging between 26 and 51 years were operated in the study period. All the patients underwent surgical excision of the lesion, of which 2 had undergone pre-operative embolisation of the feeders. There was no recurrence in the follow-up period (Mean 4.7 years) following total excision of the lesions. One patient had post-operative wound dehiscence and another had migration of embolic material to lungs.
CONCLUSION: Surgery is the predominant treatment method for scalp cirsoid aneurysms. Various adjunctive endovascular procedures can be performed pre-operatively to minimise operative blood loss.Though lower recurrence is seen with surgery for the scalp AV fistula, embolisation performed in select cases can achieve curative results with appropriate techniques.
