Carotid‐cavernous fistula ( CCF ) is a pathologic communication between internal carotid artery ( ICA ) and cavernous sinus ( CS ). CCF occurs most commonly in association with craniofacial trauma. Traumatic CCF s are very rare, occurring in 0.17–0.27% of craniomaxillofacial trauma cases. We present a case of the patient treated for multiple facial fractures, who developed symptoms of CCF with several days latency and was successfully treated by endovascular occlusion of ICA . Anatomy of CS , pathophysiology of CCF s and treatment options are concisely reviewed.
