Abstract

We report a case of acute subdural haematoma in traumatic carotid-cavernous fistula. The patient had a history of head trauma four years ago. Postoperative study revealed CCF of dominant posterior drainage with giant pseudoaneurysm. Thereafter endovascular treatment using detachable balloons and detachable platinum micro-coils made successful occlusion of the fistula preserving the ICA.
