Carotid-cavernous fistulas are an uncommon diseases characterized by abnormal communications between arteries
and veins located in the cavernous sinus. According with Barrow´s classification they could be divided in two
groups: direct and indirect. The typical symptoms showed by theses pathologies are: pulsating exophthalmos and
orbital blow. The present study describes a case of direct posttraumatic carotid-cavernous fistula in a 26 years old
man. Furthermore, we present the images that we used to make the diagnosis.
In this light, we decided to treat this case with endovascular approach after considering several therapeutic options. The
aim of the present report is twofold. First, we examine the importance of the proper management of the direct posttraumatic
carotid-cavernous fistula. Second, we describe this rare syndrome with the goal of proposing suitable treatments. |
