Abstract:
Accurate determination of the true incidence of blunt carotid artery injury is difficult because the patient may be asymptomatic or the condition may be masked by concomitant injuries. We present a case of blunt injury to the right common carotid artery and dissection with acute infarction on right fronto-temporo-parietal area and treated with carotid stent. We review the blunt carotid artery injury rate of occurrence, mechanism, presentation, screening, radiologic diagnosis, management and outcome.
