Zusammenfassung:	Optic nerve dysfunction occurred several weeks after traumatic carotid-cavernous fistula developed in a 21-year-old man. Vision was completely restored after the fistula was closed with an intra-arterial detachable balloon. By carefully monitoring visual function in patients with traumatic carotid-cavernous fistulas, delayed optic neuropathy can be recognized and treated successfully.
