Carotid cavernous fistula secondary to ruptured giant intracavernous aneurysm of the internal carotid artery is rare. We report a case of direct carotid cavernous fistula secondary to rupture of a giant intracavernous ICA aneurysm. The presence of mirror or twin aneurysms of bilateral ophthalmic arteries raises therapeutic challenge. Coiling of the intracavernous aneurysm could partially occlude the fistula. Complete closure of the fistula was facilitated by secondary carotid compression.

We describe an unconventional endovascular approach in a young patient with large high-flow traumatic carotid cavernous fistula that could not be treated by detachable balloon procedure. Two coronary stent-grafts were used to close the large tear of internal carotid artery. After the failure of stenting procedure, the fistula was successfully treated by trapping with two detachable balloons.

A rare case of carotid cavernous fistula occurring during endovascular embolization of the left carotid cave aneurysm in a 48-year-old female is reported. It was thought to be caused by the tear of a small branch derived from the intracavernous internal carotid artery while the guidewire was passing the sharp posterior bend of the intracavernous internal carotid artery. The left carotid cave aneurysm was completely occluded with five Guglielmi detachable coils assisted by neck plasty technique. It was decided to follow-up the carotid cavernous fistula since it was asymptomatic. Follow-up angiogram performed two weeks later revealed spontaneous obliteration of the carotid cavernous fistula.

Abstract OBJECTIVE AND IMPORTANCE Traumatic carotid-cavernous fistula (CCF) is currently treated with interventional neuroradiological embolization procedures. A rare case of posttraumatic CCF that resulted from an intradural pseudoaneurysm is presented. The patient was treated by direct surgery because an embolization procedure was not suitable. CLINICAL PRESENTATION A 16-year-old boy developed chemosis in the right eye 17 days after a traffic accident. Angiography revealed a pseudoaneurysm that arose from the site of origin of the posterior communicating artery, drained directly into the cavernous sinus, and formed a high-flow CCF. INTERVENTION Direct surgery was performed to repair the arterial laceration at the junction of the internal carotid artery and the posterior communicating artery. A clip was applied along the internal carotid artery. The posterior stump of the damaged posterior communicating artery was also included in the clip. Postoperatively, the CCF and pseudoaneurysm were completely obliterated, and the symptoms were cured. CONCLUSION Awareness of an unusual intradural origin of a CCF and the possibility of a direct surgical treatment should be kept in mind.
