[Carotid-cavernous fistulas. A report of two cases].
Carotid-cavernous fistulas are uncommon anomalous communications between the venous cavernous sinus and the carotid arterial system. We present two cases studied at our center. We show the characteristic CT, MRI, and orbital ultrasound findings and review the relevant literature.
