Carotid-cavernous fistulas are abnormal arteriovenous communications between the carotid system and the cavernous sinus [1]. They are rare but potentially serious, which can engage the functional and vital prognosis. We report the case of a young patient who presented a giant carotid-cavernous fistula following a road accident with a cranial impact point.
