  • Title: Endovascular treatment in an unusual case of direct carotid cavernous fistula.
    Author: Chavan RG, Kamble RB, Bonde V.
    Journal: Neuroradiol J; 2014 Apr; 27(2):207-12. PubMed ID: 24750711.
    Abstract:
    We describe a unique and unusual case of post-traumatic direct carotid cavernous fistula (CCF) with occluded proximal internal carotid artery and CCF filling from the contralateral side with retrograde cortical venous reflux. A male patient presented with intracranial haemorrhage due to cortical venous reflux. He was treated endovascularly through a contralateral approach by coiling the cavernous sinus and occluding the distal internal carotid artery at the fistulous site with glue.
