Core Tip
Core tip: Most carotid-cavernous fistulae lead to pressure symptoms in the orbit. This case report suggests alternate routing to the basal vein of Rosenthal, which may convey different implications. Various treatment options used for conventional fistulae; though, in this report we highlight the utility of a covered stent system (Jostent Graftmaster) in the management of carotid-rosenthal fistula.
