[Post-traumatic carotid cavernous fistula as a cause of objective tinnitus].

Reporting the case of a patient, seen in our Hospital Consulting Department, enduring heavy pulsatile tinnitus, following a craniocerebral traumatism. ENT examination was negative, but having the feeling of a carotid-cavernous fistula, angiographies confirmed this pathology. Embolisation of the fistula as treatment stopped the patient's symptomatology. We take the advantage of this case in order to review the etiology, the pathology, diagnostic measure and treatment of this condition.
