AI Summary
A rare case showed acute angle closure glaucoma after failed carotid-cavernous fistula angiography was successfully treated with embolization, leading to excellent visual recovery. This highlights a rare iatrogenic complication and its effective management.
Abstract
Acute angle closure glaucoma (AACG) is a rare complication of carotid-cavernous fistula (CCF). However, rarer is iatrogenic AACG subsequent to CCF's standard treatment, endovascular embolization. To our knowledge, this is the first case in which AACG after angiography (a failed attempt at embolization) is treated primarily with embolization, and the first case of AACG and CCF that has yielded such a successful visual recovery.
