Abstrakt: A case of carotid cavernous fistula resulting from the use of a Fogarty catheter in the treatment of occlusive disease of the internal carotid artery is described. The patient developed a loud bruit several days after opening of the fistula; however, there was no evidence of proptosis or ocular palsy. After ligation of the right internal carotid artery the patient recovered uneventfully. The potential danger inherent in using the Fogarty catheter in the internal carotid artery is again emphasized.
