[Dural carotid-cavernous fistula with uveal effusion syndrome].
We report the case of a patient with a dural carotid-cavernous fistula. The examination showed a proptosis, a chemosis, an increased intraocular pressure and a choroidal detachment. The diagnosis was confirmed by arteriography. The treatment consisted of the embolisation of the feeders originating from the external carotid artery. The ocular improvement was only partial, but choroidal detachment regressed.
