Central retinal vein occlusion complicating spontaneous dural carotid-cavernous fistula after phacoemulsification

Abstract: In this report, we are presenting a case of a 49-year-old female complaining of defective vision in the left eye. The main complaints were: pain, redness, mild proptosis, and high intraocular pressure. She had a history of uneventful phacoemulsification surgery 3 months prior to presenting to us. Investigations revealed a macular edema caused by central retinal vein occlusion and computed tomography angiography showed an early opacified left cavernous sinus with a dilated superior ophthalmic vein along with a fistula between the meningeal branches of the carotid arteries and the cavernous sinus. Improvement of ocular symptoms was achieved after endovascular treatment by transarterial and transvenous embolization
