Abstract
A case [human] was presented in which bilateral spontaneous choroidal detachments appeared to be the direct result of bilateral dural arteriovenous fistula of the cavernous sinus region. Rapid resolution of the clinical signs followed bilateral orbital decompression via the transfrontal approach. Similarities in clinical presentation of both entities were reviewed and a premise for their cause-and-effect relationship elaborated. A literature search for similar unrecognized cases was discussed. This association may be more frequent than published reports would imply.
