Indirect carotid cavernous fistulas (CCFs) are most often spontaneous, but can rarely be caused by trauma. With traumatic etiology, the timeline for the development of symptoms varies significantly and can be difficult to predict. In this report, we discuss the case of a patient found to have an indirect CCF who presented for acutely worsening ocular symptoms and a history of pulsatile tinnitus that began two years prior after a suspected inciting head injury. To our knowledge, no cases have described a traumatic indirect CCF with a similarly extensive indolent course who demonstrated full symptomatic recovery following treatment. |
