ABSTRACT
Rejuvenative surgery for isolated neck deformities can be fulfilling procedure for patients and surgeons. With precise understanding of the anatomy of the anterior neck, proper patient selection, and sound surgical execution, consistent and attractive postoperative outcomes can be expected in every case (Figs. 9, 10).

Traumatic carotid-cavernous fistulae are rare yet potentially lethal vascular anomalies in the skull base seen after craniomaxillofacial trauma. This aberrant vascular communication has been extensively evaluated and classified, with a number of treatment modalities available to clinicians. The ultimate and definitive treatment of carotid-cavernous fistulae falls beyond the scope of craniomaxillofacial surgery. Nevertheless, clinicians treating patients with craniofacial injuries should have a complete understanding of this pathological entity, because urgent intervention may improve patient outcome.
