    Author: van Schaik JP, ter Bruggen JP, van Huffelen AC, Mali WP, Tulleken CA, Ramos LM.
    Journal: Ned Tijdschr Geneeskd; 1991 Jul 20; 135(29):1322-5. PubMed ID: 1865935.
    Abstract:
    A 58-year-old male patient with a giant carotid-cavernous fistula was treated by means of endovascular balloon embolisation. The fistula was closed, and good antegrade flow in the carotid artery and intracranial vessels was obtained. Based on this case history, the pathophysiology, ultrasonographic and angiographic evaluation and treatment options are reviewed.
