Carotid-cavernous fistula (CCF) is a rare condition involving an abnormal communication between the carotid artery and the cavernous sinus. We present a unique case of posttraumatic unilateral CCF initially misdiagnosed as a corneal melt with iris prolapse and orbital cellulitis. The patient, a 25-year-old male, experienced swelling, bleeding, and sudden vision loss in the affected eye following a fall. Imaging confirmed a direct CCF, and the patient underwent endovascular coiling, evisceration, and prosthetic replacement. Partial loss of levator palpebrae superioris muscle function was observed postprocedure. This case underscores the diagnostic challenge of CCF and highlights the significance of early and accurate diagnosis for appropriate management.
