A 28-year-old woman who suffered a head injury 2 months before presented with a history of progressive right eye proptosis, ophthalmoplegia, and conjunctival injection. The radiological workup with a magnetic resonance imaging of the brain and cerebral angiography revealed a direct, high-flow, right post-traumatic carotid-cavernous fistula. An endovascular procedure was performed, and the carotid-cavernous fistula was successfully occluded with a progressive resolution of the complained symptoms.
