A case of carotid-cavernous fistula caused by a ruptured intracavernous aneurysm is reported. The fistula was treated with electrothrombosis by the detachment of two platinum coils into the aneurysm via an endovascular transvenous approach; the fistula was closed, and the patient has recovered completely. The advantages of using electrodetachable platinum coils include thrombogenicity, controllable deposit, radiopacity, and biocompatibility.
