A rare carotid-cavernous sinus fistula developed in a man after blunt trauma. Diagnosis was confirmed via CT scan and cerebral angiography, highlighting the importance of this imaging technique.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Ophthalmology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Carotid-cavernous sinus fistulas (CCSF) are uncommon vascular malformations.
  • They can arise spontaneously or secondary to trauma.

Observation:

  • A 51-year-old male presented with exophthalmia, chemosis, pupillary dilatation, and an orbital bruit following blunt trauma.
  • Clinical signs suggested a diagnosis of carotid-cavernous sinus fistula.

Findings:

  • Computed tomography (CT) scan and cerebral angiography confirmed the presence of a carotid-cavernous sinus fistula.
  • Cerebral angiography is the gold standard for diagnosing CCSFs.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering CCSF in patients with relevant symptoms after head trauma.

  • Prompt diagnosis and appropriate management are crucial for favorable outcomes.
  • Understanding the signs, symptoms, and diagnostic modalities for CCSF is vital for clinicians.
