Abstract
A patient with diplopia had a carotid cavernous fistula associated with a p ersistent primitive trigeminal artery that was seen with angiography. Ballo on occlusion of the carotid cavernous fistula resulted in flow stasis of th e persistent primitive trigeminal artery and resolution of the symptoms. Pe rsistent primitive trigeminal artery may be associated with a carotid caver nous fistula.
