چکیده
A case of carotid-cavernous fistula is described associated with extradural haematoma, temporal lobe contusion, ophthalmoplegia, optic nerve injury by fracture, rhinorrhoea, orbital encephalocoele, and traumatic carotid thrombosis. The fistula was occluded by clipping of the carotid artery intracranially and also of the ophthalmic artery.

Spontaneous resolution of a trauma induced direct carotid cavernous fistula
Introduction: Direct carotid cavernous fistulas (CCF) are abnormal communications between the internal carotid artery and the cavernous sinus usually resulting from high energy trauma to the face and base of skull. The management of direct CCF relies on endovascular procedures repairing the malformation as healing cannot take place in the high flow system. Case Report: A 16yearold male presen...

The complications of carotid cavernous fistula include (1) intracerebral hematoma, subarachnoid hemorrhage, intraorbital hemorrhage, epistaxis, and otorrhagia [1-4]; (2) blurred vision or loss of vision caused by secondary glaucoma, intraorbital hemorrhage, or other causes [1, 5] ; (3) cerebral ischemia due to steal of blood by the fistula [1 ]; (4) progressive proptosis [1, 5] ; (5) increased ...
متن کاملUpper extremity arteriovenous dialysis fistula resulting in cavernous sinus arterialized blood flow.
Arterialized blood flow in the cavernous sinus may result from carotid-cavernous fistula or dural venous fistula. We encountered an unusual case of arterialized blood flow in the cavernous sinus on MR angiography resulting from arterialized retrograde venous flow in the internal jugular vein. This abnormal flow originated from an upper extremity dialysis arteriovenous fistula in the presence of...
متن کاملAcquired carotid-cavernous fistula caused by traumatic intracavernous rupture of an embryonic anastomosis.
This case of traumatic carotid-cavernous fistula was caused by rupture of a peculiar ipsilateral intracavernous anastomosis between the accessory meningeal artery and the redundant deep recurrent ophthalmic artery. In the opposite cavernous sinus there was an obvious anastomosis between the accessory meningeal artery and the ophthalmic artery, probably located in the lateral part of the caverno...
