Spontaneous occlusion of traumatic carotid cavernous fistula after orbital venography
Surgical Neurology
|May 1, 1985
Abstract:
A 50-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with a diagnosis of traumatic carotid cavernous fistula. The fistula was observed to disappear spontaneously just after orbital venography. This was confirmed by clinical examinations and subsequent carotid angiogram. The possible mechanisms responsible for the spontaneous occlusion of carotid cavernous fistula are discussed.
