Abstract
This paper describes the results obtained in the treatment of posttraumatic carotid-cavernous fistulas in 7 patients. The method used consisted of closure of the fistula with the aid of a detachable balloon. The advantage of this method over most others is that it closes the fistula but leaves carotid patency intact. In addition to the results, some technical aspects of this method are discussed.Entities:
