  • Title: [Maxillo-basal injury causing a bicondylo-angular fracture and carotid-cavernous fistula].
    Author: Vesse M, Krebs A, Cabanis EA, Ibazizen MT, Blanchard RP, Coumel C.
    Journal: Rev Stomatol Chir Maxillofac; 1982; 83(2-3):116-23. PubMed ID: 6954616.
    Abstract:
    The authors present the case of a patient who suffered a violent maxillo-facial trauma. She suffered four mandibular fractures. During the postoperative course there was the development of very marked exophthalmos of of the right eye which was due to a carotido-cavernous fistula. The case has a double interest:--stomatological, osteosynthesis of the angular fractures being achieved by miniaturised screw-plates which ensured a solid mandible and facilitated postoperative intensive care;--neuro-ophthalmological, since the carotido-cavernous fistula closed spontaneously after arteriography during which intermittent compression was applied to the internal carotid.
