A rare primary orbital arteriovenous fistula was diagnosed in an elderly woman presenting with proptosis. This condition can mimic the symptoms of a carotid-cavernous fistula.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Vascular Surgery
  • Neuroradiology

Background:

  • Dural carotid-cavernous fistulas are common vascular anomalies presenting with orbital symptoms.
  • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for appropriate management and preventing complications.

Observation:

  • An 82-year-old woman presented with unilateral proptosis, chemosis, and a supraorbital bruit.
  • Initial suspicion leaned towards a dural carotid-cavernous fistula based on clinical presentation.

Findings:

  • Catheter angiography revealed an intraorbital arteriovenous fistula involving the inferior ophthalmic vein.
  • The fistula was supplied by the right ophthalmic artery and the infraorbital branch of the internal maxillary artery.

Implications:

  • Primary orbital arteriovenous fistulas are rare but can present similarly to carotid-cavernous fistulas.
  • Advanced imaging like angiography is essential for differentiating these conditions.
  • Early and accurate diagnosis is key to effective treatment and preserving visual function.
