Özet

An 11-year-old girl presented with bilateral traumatic caroticocavernous fistula associated with corkscrew eyelid vessels, which were considered indicators of severe congestive disease in this case. Coil embolization was performed; similar to other congestive findings such as proptosis, orbital bruit, increased intraocular pressure, congested scleral and retinal vessels, engorged eyelid vessels resolved immediately after coil embolization. This pediatric case is unique given the caroticocavernous fistula was bilateral and was associated with prominent dilatation of the eyelid vessels, named for the first time as corkscrew eyelid vessels.
