Abstract

A carotid cavernous fistula (CCF) is an abnormal arteriovenous connection between the internal carotid artery (ICA) or the external carotid artery (ECA) and the cavernous sinus. Symptoms range from benign ocular disturbances and cranial nerve palsies to severe or rapid vision loss and subarachnoid hemorrhage. Primary treatment options include transarterial and transvenous embolization.1,2
