External carotid arterial injury
Injury, 2008Carotid vascular trauma has high mortality. The two primary causes of death are associated head injury and vascular injuries that cause exsanguination or stroke. In the past two decades interventional radiology, i.e. techniques of transcatheter embolisation, has become a vital component of the care of these cases.

Carotid and Vertebral Arterial Injuries
Surgical Clinics of North America, 1988Injuries of the extracranial cerebral vessels represent only a small fraction of all reported arterial injuries but pose a significant dilemma over whether to repair or ligate the involved vessel. This article reviews recognition and repair of both penetrating and blunt injuries of the carotid and vertebral arteries, with special comment on the ...

The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 1989
This is a retrospective study of 124 patients with carotid injuries. The common carotid artery was injured in 84% of the patients. Associated trauma to the internal jugular vein was present in 26%. Most patients (56%) were dead on arrival to the hospital and of those who were operated on, the mortality was 22% (overall mortality, 66%).

Emergency Medicine, 2002
AbstractBlunt carotid artery injury is an uncommon injury with a potentially devastating outcome. Although treatment is often unhelpful for an established neurologic deficit, there is frequently a delay between the episode of trauma and the onset of neurology.

Journal of the Tennessee Medical Association, 1995
A case of delayed embolization of a traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the right common carotid artery, resulting in fatal cerebral infarction, is reported. This case emphasizes the importance to detect occult lesions to the carotid arteries after blunt neck injuries and to treat aggressively pseudoaneurysms located upstream to a cerebral vessel to prevent ...

Blunt carotid and vertebral artery injuries
Injury, 2008The recognition and treatment of blunt cerebrovascular injuries has dramatically evolved over the past two decades. As imaging technology has improved both with respect to the image quality and acquisition times, its use has become a fundamental diagnostic tool in blunt trauma evaluation.

Iatrogenic injuries of the carotid arteries
Vasa, 2005Background: Iatrogenic trauma of the carotid artery (CA) is a dangerous intraoperative complication, especially during oncological and endocrinological procedures. In these cases massive hemorrhage and severe neurological complications may occur. The outcome of reconstructive procedures is often fatal because of the long delay of surgery after the ...

Blunt Carotid and Vertebral Arterial Injuries
World Journal of Surgery, 2001Blunt carotid and vertebral arterial injuries are uncommon but have the potential for devastating consequences. The classic presentation is a neurologic deficit unexplained by computed tomographic scan findings. Screening patients based on injury mechanisms and patterns allows the diagnosis and treatment of injuries while they are still asymptomatic ...

Carotid artery injury during mandibular distraction
British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 2008Mandibular distraction is an effective treatment for mandibular hypoplasia. Special care must be done while performing the corticotomies to prevent injuries to blood vessels or nerves nearby. A rare iatrogenic severe injury occurred while performing this operation.A 3 year-old girl was operated upon to correct mandibular hypoplasia.

Carotid Artery Injury After Endonasal Surgery
Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America, 2011Carotid artery injury during endonasal surgery is the most feared and catastrophic complication. Internal carotid artery injury is more frequent during skull base surgery, and risk factors include acromegaly, previous revision surgery, and prior radiotherapy and bromocriptine therapy. Nasal packing is frequently used to gain hemostasis, often resulting
