Abstract
We describe three patients with spontaneous dural carotid cavernous sinus fistula presenting an isolated ophthalmoplegia where magnetic resonance angiography demonstrated abnormal flow-related enhancements in the cavernous sinus with extension into the inferior petrosal sinus. Magnetic resonance angiography is of value in evaluation of patients with isolated ophthalmoplegia.
