Abstract:
A 65-year-old male patient presented with a rare arterio-venous fistula (AFV). The symptoms included congestion, decreased visual acuity, and proptosis. Further investigation revealed a non-traumatic intra orbital AFV with ophthalmic vein thrombosis. The management strategy was craniotomy and the prescription of anticoagulants. The patient recovered 2 months after surgery demonstrating successful resolution of his presenting symptoms and an alternative approach to complicated cases of embolization.
