Article Abstract
The neuro-ophthalmic features of 11 traumatic carotid cavernous fistulas and their successful occlusion by endoarterial balloon embolisation is reported.Significant improvement in all neuro-ophthalmic signs and symptoms occurred following treatment,however,ocular motility deficits persisted in 7 patients.All 11 fistulas were occluded and the patency of the internal carotid artery was preserved in 9 patients.Though the internal carotid artery was sacrificed in 2 patients there were no permanent sequelae.Transient complications of the procedure occurred in 2 patients.
