Intraorbital arteriovenous fistula is a rare vascular disease characterized by an acquired arteriovenous communication without direct cavernous sinus involvement. Intraorbital arteriovenous fistula may develop slowly and present similarly to other insidious orbitopathies, such as carotid-cavernous fistula. The authors present a case of a superficial temporal artery to superior ophthalmic vein fistula arising in the absence of trauma or prior surgery. This is the first report of a spontaneous intraorbital arteriovenous fistula arising between these vessels and further describes the rare occurrence of intraorbital arteriovenous fistula.
眼眶动静脉瘘是一种罕见的血管疾病，其特征为后天性动静脉交通，无直接海绵窦受累。眼眶动静脉瘘可能发展缓慢，表现类似于其他隐匿性眼眶病，如颈动脉海绵窦瘘。作者报告了一例在无外伤或既往手术史的情况下，发生于颞浅动脉至眼上静脉的瘘。这是首例报告于这些血管之间的自发性眼眶动静脉瘘，进一步描述了罕见的眼眶动静脉瘘。
