  • Title: [The contribution of modern medical imaging in post-traumatic carotid-cavernous fistula. Apropos of a case].
    Author: Dupoirieux L, Coubes P, Jammet P, Atlan G, Souyris F.
    Journal: Rev Stomatol Chir Maxillofac; 1993; 94(6):371-4. PubMed ID: 8278794.
    Abstract:
    Carotid-cavernous fistulas are unusual complications of facial traumas but this life-threatening complication requires a rapid diagnosis. Noninvasive procedures as ultrasounds will confirm the diagnosis and are helpful to demonstrate hemodynamic conditions of the fistula. Angiography remains the main radiologic examination and embolization is now the preferred method of treatment. Surgical treatment will only be required after failure of the interventional radiology.
