Abstract
Traumatic carotid-cavernous arteriovenous fistula (TCCAVF) is a rare but severe cerebrovascular disorder, often resulting from head trauma with temporal bone fractures. The pathogenesis involves vessel wall injury due to traction, frequently associated with fractures near the middle meningeal artery. This case highlights the typical clinical presentation, diagnostic approaches, and therapeutic management of TCCAVF, emphasizing the challenges in treating this condition. Transcatheter embolization proved effective in occluding the fistula, underscoring its role as a key intervention for traumatic meningeal arteriovenous fistulas.
