title: [Embolization with cyanoacrylate glue as a treatment method in giant direct carotid cavernous fistula].
abstract: A case of 21-year-old woman with postraumatic giant direct carotid-cavernous fistula, successfully treated by endovascular embilisation with cyanoacrylate glue, is presented. Stent-assisted coils placement is the method of choice for the treatment of patients with carotid-cavernous fistulas, but closure of direct fistula with cyanoacrylate glue can be alternative, safety and efficient technique especially in cases in which standard interventions offer increased risk or in which other methods have failed.
