Traumatic Carotid Cavernous Fistula Accompanying Basilar Skull Fracture: a Study on the Incidence of Traumatic Carotid Cavernous Fistula in the Patients With Basilar Skull Fracture and the Prognostic Analysis About Traumatic Carotid Cavernous Fistula

Abstract

A relatively high incidence of TCCF occurred in patients with middle fossa fractures, especially those with transverse or oblique fractures. Prompt diagnosis and intervention should be emphasized in the management of patients with TCCF, and noninvasive techniques for early detection of TCCF should be considered in cases of middle fossa fractures under certain conditions after brain or facial trauma to ensure positive outcomes.
