Endoscopic transorbital surgery for spheno-orbital lesions: how I do it.

abstract：:Extravasation of Onyx is a rare complication during embolization of arteriovenous malformations (AVM). We present a case of embolization that was complicated by leakage of Onyx into the cerebellum which was later encountered during surgical excision of the AVM. Our goal is to report this rare event and to outline succ...
