title: Bilateral traumatic carotid cavernous fistula: the manifestations, transvascular embolization and prevention of the vascular complications after therapeutic embolization.
abstract: Bilateral traumatic carotid cavernous fistula is very rare after traumatic brain and facial injury. We present a 68-year-old woman with bilateral traumatic carotid cavernous fistula, who was treated with transarterial embolization by detachable balloon on both fistulas and recovered completely. We also reviewed the presentations, treatment and the complications after the transarterial embolization of this disorder.
