Résumé

A 64-year-old man presented with 4 months of diplopia. He had end-stage renal disease requiring a cephalic transposition brachiocephalic fistula that was no longer in use following successful renal transplantation. On presentation, he had bilateral proptosis, extraocular movement restriction, chemosis, tortuous episcleral vessels, and caruncular injection. Non-contrast CT of the orbits demonstrated dilation of both superior ophthalmic veins, and CT angiography showed asymmetric enlargement of both cavernous sinuses and superior ophthalmic veins. A carotid-cavernous fistula was suspected, but cerebral angiography revealed shunting from the old fistula with intracranial drainage and cerebral venous hypertension. Aberrant retrograde drainage resulted from anatomical compression of the left brachiocephalic vein. The fistula was ligated, and at 1-week follow-up, the patient had marked improvement in extraocular movements and orbital congestion with near complete resolution of diplopia. Postoperative CT angiography obtained 2 months later demonstrated decreased size of both superior ophthalmic veins, consistent with improvement of venous hypertension.
