Abstract
- Dural carotid-cavernous sinus fistula is an abnormal communication between small vssels emanating from intracavernous carotid artery supplying the regional dura and cranial nerves, and cavernous sinus. It is a rare entity that tends to appear in middle aged to elderly women and generally presents with a "red eye", or insidiously progressive glaucoma and may resolve without treatment. We have observed such a fistula in a 51-year-old woman and confirmed by TFCA(transfemoral carotid angiography) and have treated with manual carotid compressions and antiglaucomatous medication.
