Abstract

We present two cases of direct traumatic carotico-cavernous fistula following motor vehicle accident. Their main symptoms include loss of vision, progressive proptosis and recurrent epistaxis. Angiogram confirmed presence of carotico-cavernous fistula in both cases. One was successfully treated by open surgery and the other by embolization with Guglielmi detachable coils (GDC). In both cases, proptosis and epistaxis resolved completely.
