Abstract:
Septorhinoplasty is a very common operation in otolaryngological practice. We report the second case of a carotico-cavernous fistula following septorhinoplasty. This case presented with very severe epistaxis before the appearance of the typical pulsating exophthalmos, ophthalmoplegia, headache and engorged veins on the right side of the face. Our case was treated by endovascular thrombosis with electrolytically detachable coils.
