  • Title: Bilateral Traumatic Caroticocavernous Fistulas: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.
    Author: Leandro L, Dolci G, Prabhu S, Corkill R.
    Journal: J Oral Maxillofac Surg; 2018 Apr; 76(4):826-830. PubMed ID: 29227793.
    Abstract:
    A traumatic caroticocavernous fistula (CCF) is an acquired, abnormal communication between the internal carotid artery and the cavernous sinus, secondary to trauma. This rare condition can initially be misdiagnosed, because its presentation shares features common to those of facial trauma, which can result in serious complications. We describe a case of bilateral CCF in an adult patient after a road traffic accident.
