Choroidal detachment and dural carotid-cavernous sinus fistula

Abstract

A 71-year-old female presented with the rare complication of choroidal detachment after endovascular treatment of a dural carotid-cavernous sinus fistula. Since the residual arteriovenous shunt flow was minimal and intraocular pressure was normal, the choroidal detachment was treated conservatively and disappeared within one month. The possibility of choroidal detachment during the clinical course of a dural carotid-cavernous sinus fistula should be recognized.
