AbstractA 69-year-old woman developed acute angle-closure glaucoma 2 weeks after successful transvenous coil embolization of a traumatic carotid-cavernous sinus fistula. The angle-closure glaucoma was precipitated by oculomotor palsy caused by transvenous coil packing of the cavernous sinus. Emergency iridotomy resulted in normalization of the intraocular pressure and restoration of vision. Acute angle-closure glaucoma may develop in association with an oculomotor palsy caused by any etiology, including neurointervention.
