AIthough recurrent traumatic carotid-cavous fistula (CCF) and its treatment have been reported sporadically,1 a complex cavous sinus dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) secondary to balloon embolization of a direct traumatic CCF is rare. In 2005, we treated such a case via transvenous approach using coils and N-buty-2-cyanoacrylate (NBCA). The causes of recurrent cavous sinus DAVF and its endovascular approach are discussed.
