Excerpt

Carotid-cavernous sinus fistula (CCF) is an abnormal communication between the carotid artery and the cavernous sinus. Among the various subtypes, direct CCF (or Barrow type A CCF) is caused by a traumatic tear of the cavernous internal carotid artery (ICA) or rupture of a pseudoaneurysm within it [1, 2]. Pseudoaneurysm of the ICA may arise rarely from complete tearing of the arterial wall and the formation of a perivascular haematoma [3, 4]. The goal of treatment for direct CCF is to occlude the site of shunt flow while preserving the patency of the ICA [2], which can be accomplished by using coils [5, 6] and/or stent-graft placement [7, 8]. …
