Abstract
|
|
|
Cervical area is not protected by bony structures, so traumatic neck injuries can occur frequently.
Emergent surgical exploration is necessary for immediate life threatening signs orsymptoms, such as expanding hematoma, hematoma with hemodynamic instability, hemomediastinum,hemothorax or hypovolemic shock. Carotid artery reconstruction may be requiredin some cases of common carotid or internal carotid artery injury because these injuries coulddevelop fatal or serious complications. We report here a case of common carotid artery injurytreated by saphenous vein autograft in an emergent situation.
