Painful Oculomotor Palsy Caused by Posterior-Draining Dural Carotid Cavernous Fistulas
Arch Ophthalmol 113:1045-1049, Acierno,M.D.,et al, 1995
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Dural carotid cavernous fistulas that drain primarily into the inferior petrosal sinus may cause painful oculomotor palsies that elude diagnosis because they lack congestive orbito-ocular features. Treatment by embolization leads to more rapid resolution of manifestations.
