Abstract:
A case of bilateral spontaneous carotid cavernous sinus fistula is presented. The diagnostic value of Doppler ultrasound examination is discussed, as well as therapeutic measurements, such as manual compression of the carotid artery and embolization treatment. The frequent spontaneous closure of these fistulas is emphasized, and a conservative attitude is recommended.
