Carotid cavernous fistula with cervical myelopathy
Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, 10/06/09
Ko SB et al. – The authors report a patient with carotid cavernous fistula (CCF) presenting with cervical myelopathy. The patient initially presented with ocular pain accompanied by binocular diplopia and was diagnosed with Tolosa–Hunt syndrome at another institution. This patient experienced long–standing venous hypertension due to the delay in diagnosis. Posterior venous drainage from the CCF caused venous congestion in the brainstem and cervical spinal cord causing cervical myelopathy.
