    Abstract:
    A case of spontaneously cured carotid-cavernous fistula has been reported in details with a review of literatures. Seven cases verified by angiography have been described so far in the literature. Spontaneous cure has been revealed within 6 months after the initial examination in 5 out of 7 cases by follow up angiography, and has occurred in five women of middle age. The presented case was a 45 year-old female who has suffered from the exophthalmos associated with disturbed eye movements of two months duration. On January 2, 1977, the carotid angiography demonstrated a c--c fistula and an oval aneurysm of the middle cerebral artery on the right side. The exopthalmos was slowly decreased with the conservative treatment after two months. The c--c fistula was not demonstrated by the angiography carried out on March 10, 1977, and was not revealed thereafter by follow up studies.
