Carotid cavernous fistula (CCF) is a pathologic communication between carotid artery and the cavernous sinus. It can cause a wide range of symptoms that could be life-threatening in rare cases. A 15-year old male was diagnosed with right sided CCF after severe road traffic accident and underwent surgical coiling procedure. Two years later, while doing investigations to determine the cause of recurrent syncopal attacks that the patient was suffering, he was diagnosed with cerebral infarction together with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome. The current report highlights the importance of follow up of patients with CCF.
