Carotid cavernous fi stulas are usually classifi ed as direct or indirect. The etiologies of direct carotid cavernous fi stulas are frequently trauma, ruptured cavernous carotid artery aneurysm, arterial dissection or iatrogenic causes. Endovascular treatment techniques are the fi rst choice for treatment. Embolization of a direct carotid cavernous fi stula by transarterial balloon detachment is a well-known treatment procedure. Herein, we present a case of carotid cavernous fi stula and discuss its etiology, diagnosis, potential complications and treatment choices in the light of the current literature.
