Abstract
Successful treatment of direct spontaneous carotid-cavernous fistula in a 9-month-old child and review of the literature devoted to this issue are reported in the manuscript. Spontaneous high-flow carotid-cavernous fistula is extremely rare in children. Detailed diagnosis of the fistulae includes CT-angiography and cerebral subtraction angiography. Previous surgeries (nasolacrimal canal repair in this case) may be considered as an etiological factor of carotid-cavernous fistula. Transarterial transfemoral endovascular embolization of the fistula with microcoils ensured closure of abnormal communication and complete regression of clinical manifestations in our case.
