Endovascular Stent Treatment for Traumatic Common Carotid Artery Dissection with Cerebral Infarction : Case Report and Literature Review / 대한뇌혈관외과학회지

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.
