Abstract:
A case of carotico-cavernous fistula was managed by intravascular occlusion using a Fogarty catheter and ligation of the carotid artery. The fistula was obliterated by the procedure and neurologic deficits improved progressively without further recurrence. The radiological feature, symptomatology and surgical management were discussed.
