Coil embolization was performed; similar to other congestive findings such as proptosis, orbital bruit, increased intraocular pressure, congested scleral and retinal vessels, engorged eyelid vessels resolved immediately after coil embolization. This pediatric case is unique given the caroticocavernous fistula was bilateral and was associated with prominent dilatation of the eyelid vessels, named for the first time as corkscrew eyelid vessels.
