title: [Spontaneous healing of a carotid-cavernous sinus fistula].
abstract: After a fall, a 67-year-old patient was admitted to our hospital. The unique clinical sign was an exophthalmus, which led to the diagnosis of carotid-cavernous sinus fistula. During his stay in our clinic the fistula was verified by CT and angiography. Transfemoral embolization was planned, but the fistula closed spontaneously prior to the intervention.
