ABSTRACT
The authors reported the case of a young man who suffered a cranial traumatism and showed neurological, ophthalmic and orbital signs with orbital bruit, cranial nerve palsy and chemosis while he was in the intensive care unit. Further examinations of imagery made it possible to highlight a high-flow carotid-cavernous fistula which was the origin of these symptoms and which was successfully treated by endovascular way. The aim of this article is to remind the reader of the characteristics of this pathology, in terms of epidemiology, physiopathology, clinical and paraclinical presentation, and therapeutic care.
