Acute angle closure glaucoma (AACG) is a rare complication of carotid-cavernous fistula (CCF). However, rarer is iatrogenic AACG subsequent to CCF's standard treatment, endovascular embolization. To our knowledge, this is the first case in which AACG after angiography (a failed attempt at embolization) is treated primarily with embolization, and the first case of AACG and CCF that has yielded such a successful visual recovery.
