Proximal occlusion for infectious carotid-cavernous fistula caused by invasive fungal sinusitis: illustrative case
This is the first reported case of spontaneous thrombosis of an infected distal cerebral aneurysm, and proximal occlusion with coils was necessary to treat CCF caused by the rupture of a fungal CCA. This case could help guide future treatment. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE25336.
