Abstract
BACKGROUND Bilateral carotid cavernous fistulas may complicate head injury. Spontaneous resolution of post-traumatic direct carotid cavernous fistula is rare. CASE DESCRIPTION We present a case of a 42-year-old female who developed post-traumatic high flow bilateral carotid cavernous fistulas with cortical and deep venous drainage, who had a spontaneous resolution with thrombosis of the cavernous sinus outlets bilaterally and development of a trans-sellar intercarotid vascular communication. To our knowledge this is the first reported case in the literature describing such a phenomenon. CONCLUSION Bilateral direct carotid cavernous fistulas may undergo spontaneous resolution and form a benign trans-sellar intercarotid vascular communication.
