Hilary Cunningham Scharper is a Canadian novelist and professor of cultural anthropology at the University of Toronto. Scharper's fiction and research focus on cultural approaches to nature, she writes historical fiction, multi-species fiction, self-coined, "ecoGothic" fiction. Born in 1961, Scharper grew up in Toronto, Ontario, she attended Yale, where she received her PhD in Anthropology in 1992. Scharper's first novel, Perdita is a gothic novel with strong nature themes, she has characterized her writing as "ecoGothic," a newly minted subgenre that represents a more ecologically aware gothic. Scharper has stated: "I do not treat nature as a backdrop or setting, but rather as an active and indeed central player in the narrative." Jennifer Dawson credits Scharper with originating the term "ecoGothic". Critic Robert Douglas has suggested that Scharper's fiction draws upon literary classics such as Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights and Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre, noting that all these novels feature landscapes that are "desolate," "powerful" and "cruel."Scharper's book of short stories, Dream Dresses, draws upon her experience as an ethnographer and explores women's experiences of dressing over the life cycle.

Hollins Critic writes that Scharper "brings to her fiction writing a trained anthropological eye." The Toronto Star wrote that her writing in Dream Dresses was "reminiscent of Thomas Carlyle."

A carotid-cavernous fistula results from an abnormal communication between the arterial and venous systems within the cavernous sinus in the skull. It is a type of arteriovenous fistula; as arterial blood under high pressure enters the cavernous sinus, the normal venous return to the cavernous sinus is impeded and this causes engorgement of the draining veins, manifesting most as a sudden engorgement and redness of the eye of the same side. CCF symptoms include bruit, progressive visual loss, pulsatile proptosis or progressive bulging of the eye due to dilatation of the veins draining the eye. Pain is the symptom that patients find the most difficult to tolerate. Patients present with sudden or insidious onset of redness in one eye, associated with progressive proptosis or bulging, they may have a history of similar episodes in the past. Carotid cavernous fistulae may form following closed or penetrating head trauma, surgical damage, rupture of an intracavernous aneurysm, or in association with connective tissue disorders, vascular diseases and dural fistulas.

This is based on magnetic resonance angiography and CT scan. A cerebral digital subtraction angiography enhances visualization of the fistula. CT scans classically show an enlarged superior ophthalmic vein, cavernous sinus enlargement ipsilateral as the abnormality and diffuse enlargement of all the extraocular muscles resulting from venous engorgement. Selective arteriography is used to evaluate arteriovenous fistulas. High resolution digital subtraction angiography may help in classifying CCF into dural and direct type and thus formulate a strategy to treat it either by a balloon or coil or both with or without preservation of parent ipsilateral carotid artery. Various classifications have been proposed for CCF, they may be divided into direct or indirect. The traumatic CCF occurs after a basal skull fracture; the spontaneous dural cavernous fistula, more common results from a degenerative process in older patients with systemic hypertension and atherosclerosis. Direct fistulas occur when the Internal Carotid artery itself fistulizes into the Cavernous sinus whereas indirect is when a branch of the ICA or External Carotid artery communicates with the cavernous sinus.

A popular classification divides CCF into four varieties depending on the type of arterial supply. The mainstay of treatment for CCF is endovascular therapy; this may be transvenous. More direct approaches, such as direct transorbital puncture of the cavernous sinus or cannulation of the draining superior orbital vein are used when conventional approaches are not possible. Spontaneous resolution of indirect fistulae is uncommon. Staged manual compression of the ipsilateral carotid has been reported to assist with spontaneous closure in selected cases. Direct CCF may be treated by occlusion of the affected cavernous sinus, or by reconstruction of the damaged internal carotid artery. Indirect CCF may be treated by occlusion of the affected cavernous sinus with coils, liquid agents or a combination of both
