Abstract
A case of spontaneous thrombosis of carotid cavernous fistula, preceded by paradoxical worsening of ocular symptoms occurred in a 74-year-old patient. Clinical examination, and paraclinical investigation if necessary (echo-Doppler and arteriography) allow to distinguish spontaneous resolution from increased blood flow through the fistula.
