Abstract:
Traumatic arteriovenous fistula between common carotid artery and internal jugular vein is extremely rare. Major cervical vascular injury may present as vigorous external bleeding, an expanding or stable cervical hematoma, or a hemispheric neurologic deficit. A rapidly expanding hematoma is immediate to the patient's airway and severe ongoing hemorrhage may lead to exanguination. The authors have experienced a case of traumatic pseudoaneurysm and arteriovenous fistula between common carotid artery and internal jugular vein. We treated this case successfully with exploration and vascular autograft, and so, we report it with a review of the literature.
