Direct carotid-cavernous fistula (CCF) refers to direct communication between the cavernous portion of the internal carotid artery (ICA) and the cavernous sinus due to rent in the ICA, most commonly secondary to trauma. These are generally high-flow fistula and rarely resolve spontaneously. We report a case of a young male who developed features of direct CCF after trauma, was denied any treatment for 4 years, and then presented with spontaneous thrombosis of the fistula and a residual large pseudoaneurysm of the cavernous segment of the right ICA, which was subsequently managed with parent vessel occlusion.

Carotid body tumor excision can lead to various complications including vascular injury and pseudoaneurysm formation. Here we describe a case of carotid body tumor excision followed by series of complications including pseudoaneurysm formation, failure of primary surgical repair, carotid stump syndrome following parent artery occlusion, and persistent hypotension.
