Thrombosis of Internal Carotid Artery

Thrombosis of the Internal Carotid Artery

Seen in long-term perspectiye the discovery of X-rays and their use as a diagnostic agent must surely rank as one of the major advances in medicine, Though of less immediate practical benefit than were either anaesthesia or antisepsis, the scientific importance was greater and even now, after more than fifty years, new techniques are still being evolved with resulting increases in knowledge.

Traumatic Thrombosis of the Internal Carotid Artery.

Two cases of post-traumatic thrombosis of the internal carotid artery are presented, which are of interest because of their relative rarity. A detailed understanding of the pathogenesis and variety of clinical presentations, an adequate appraisal of the diverse proposed treatments, and an improvement in the prognosis, which is poor even in young patients-these await further enquiry and research.

A Penetrating Pellet Jeopardizing Internal Carotid Artery

Carotid artery thrombosis and cerebral infarction after multiple traumas

Carotid artery thrombosis and concomitant brain infarction after blunt trauma are rare conditions. We report a 34-year-old woman with multiple traumas due to pedestrian car accident. At the time of initial visiting, she was somnolent and her Glasgow coma scale (GCS) score was 14. Initial vital signs (V/S) and brain computed tomography (CT) scan were normal. One day after admission to the emerge...
