Resolution of hypoglossal nerve palsy after coil embolization of an anterior condylar confluence fistula

Abstract

A 69-year-old female presented with 2-year history of slurred speech, left-sided pulsatile tinnitus, and left-sided hypoglossal nerve palsy. Cerebral angiography demonstrated a left anterior condylar confluence fistula. She was treated with a transvenous coil embolization of the left condylar fistula pocket.
