Indirect internal carotid-cavernous fistula in infancy.
A 4-month-old male infant with proptosis and episcleral injection initially thought to have orbital inflammation was found to have an indirect carotid-cavernous sinus fistula. He was treated conservatively without worsening of symptoms. The authors report the first case of indirect carotid-cavernous sinus fistula in an infant originating from the internal carotid artery.
