Carotid Cavernous Fistula (CCF): A Case Report
SYED ZOHERUL ALAM
Abstract:
Carotid Carvernous Fistula (CCF) is an abnormal communication between the internal or external carotid arteries and the cavernous sinus. Abnormal communications may occur due to traumatic or spontaneous etiology. This results in the short circuiting of the arterial blood with the venous system of the cavernous sinus. Direct CCF represents 70-90%.
