title: [Inflammatory presentation of a cavernous dural fistula: diagnosis with color and pulse Doppler imaging].
abstract: We report a case of a cavernous dural fistula in a 54-year-old man the source of inflammatory ocular symptoms. Poorly adapted treatment with corticosteroids led to iatrogenic complications. We will attempt to show the advantage of color Doppler imaging for the diagnosis of this infrequent lesion. The only indication of digitalized angiography is for endovascular treatment.
