RESUMO
The use of a balloon-tipped intra-arterial catheter for occlusion of the carotid-cavernous fistula seems to be a simple and, by the reports published to date, very effective procedure, and its usage has been without any sequelae. Successful treatment of carotid-cavernous fistulae by this method is reported in two patients.
