          • Abbreviations

            • Carotid-jugular fistula (CJF)
            • Common carotid-jugular fistula (CCJF)
          • Synonyms

            • Jugular-carotid fistula
          • Definitions

            • CJF: Direct communication occurring between extracranial carotid artery and internal jugular vein (IJV) that allows blood to travel from arterial bed into venous bed
              • As with any other fistula, there is opening that connects 2 epithelial structures
              • Communication can be between common carotid artery (CCA), internal carotid artery (ICA) (extracranial), or external carotid artery (ECA) and internal jugular vein (IJV)
