Abstract

Carotid-cavernous fistulas (CCF) represent the complication of traumatic injuries mostly of bone structures of skull base and face, and rarely of soft neck tissues with the fast development of the shunt and imperiled hemodynamics that in a short time endangers the patient for the increase of intracranial mass. The therapy of this clinical entity significantly changed in the last few years. In this report, we present the case of spontaneous CCF healing with the complete restitution of neurological deficit and CCF healing in control angiographies.
