- Carotid-jugular fistula (CJF)
- Common carotid-jugular fistula (CCJF)
Synonyms
- Jugular-carotid fistula
Definitions
- CJF: Direct communication occurring between extracranial carotid artery and internal jugular vein (IJV) that allows blood to travel from arterial bed into venous bed
- As with any other fistula, there is opening that connects 2 epithelial structures
- Communication can be between common carotid artery (CCA), internal carotid artery (ICA) (extracranial), or external carotid artery (ECA) and internal jugular vein (IJV)
- CJF: Direct communication occurring between extracranial carotid artery and internal jugular vein (IJV) that allows blood to travel from arterial bed into venous bed
