Abstract
A traumatic caroticocavernous fistula (CCF) is an acquired, abnormal communication between the internal carotid artery and the cavernous sinus, secondary to trauma. This rare condition can initially be misdiagnosed, because its presentation shares features common to those of facial trauma, which can result in serious complications. We describe a case of bilateral CCF in an adult patient after a road traffic accident.
