ABSTRACT
A 47-year-old woman was diagnosed with dural carotid cavernous fistula (CCF) in her right eye (RE). Scans of the choroid using Spectralis optic coherence tomography (OCT) demonstrated significant asymmetry in subfoveal choroidal thickness (RE 451 µm, left eye (LE) 367 µm). This asymmetry disappeared after the fistula was embolizated through the ophthalmic artery (RE 341 µm; LE 340 µm). This case suggests that OCT should be considered as an ancillary test in the diagnosis of CCF.
