Internal Carotid Artery Dissection with Lidocaine Nerve Block Injection Trauma: A Rare Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Internal carotid artery dissection (ICAD) accounts for 25% of cerebrovascular accidents in young and middle-aged patients. Dissection occurs when the intimal wall of an artery is damaged as a result of trauma or defect. ICAD development after dental work is a relatively uncommon phenomenon. Our study highlights a rare presentation of ICAD that resulted from a direct lidocaine nerve block injection in a patient undergoing pulpotomy for a right maxillary second premolar tooth. We have described the case and reviewed the literature on this rare but potentially life-threatening phenomenon.

As the disease progresses, the active inflammation of large vessels leads to dilation, narrowing and occlusion of the arteries. Arterial dissection is due to separation of the layers of the arterial wall resulting in a false lumen, where blood seeps into the vessel wall. Neurol...

متن کاملA rare anatomical variant of ansa cervicalis: case report
AbsractA rare variant of ansa cervicalis was discovered during dissection of the neck in amale cadaver. The superior root of the Ansa cervicalis was formed by the C1 ventralramus. It accompanied with the vagus nerve in place of the hypoglossal nerve and descendedinto the carotid sheath with it. Moreover the C1 ventral ramus formed fromthe sheath and joined the inferior root from C2 and C3 ventr...
