The authors report direct transcutaneous puncture of the cavernous sinus through an intact orbit for embolization of a recurrent carotid-cavernous fistula (CCF) after 10 prior operations. The fistula was obliterated completely with this technique. No significant complication was noted except temporary ptosis for about 2 months. When other approaches are difficult or impossible, this technique can be an alternate way to treat a recurrent CCF after a trapping procedure.
