Abstract:
We report 2 patients with a traumatic carotid- jugular fistula. The first patient suffered a deep neck penetrating injury. The external carotid-jugular fistula was demonstrated by 3-dimension CT angiography (3D CTA) and digital subtraction angiography (DSA). The patient was treated with coil embolization. The second patient suffered a gun shot injury to the neck. 3D CTA and DSA revealed a common carotid-jugular fistula and a pseudoaneurysm. The common carotid-jugular fistula was treated with coil embolization in the fistula and the pseudoaneurysm was treated with stent assisted coil embolization.
