Abstract:
The author reports a case of bilateral traumatic carotid-cavernous fistulae successfully treated by cervical carotid surgery alone. The right fistula was presumably cured by the thrombotic process induced by muscle embolization and carotid ligation (Brooks method). The left shunt was selectively obliterated by controlled embolization with preservation of the carotid permeability (variant of Isamat technique).
