Penetrating neck injury: Collaterals for another life after ligation of common carotid artery and subclavian artery

ایسکمی تأخیری مغزی بدنبال ترمیم ترومای نافذ شریان کاروتید خارجی

Introduction: Penetrating trauma to anterior neck can induce cerebral ischemia due to carotid artery injury. Brain ischemia also can present after surgical carotid repairs. Early diagnosis and suitable treatment modality prevent from permanent neurologic deficit post operatively. Case Report: A 30 years old man with stab wound to zone two left side of neck underwent exploration and penrose i...

Anatomical Variations of Vertebral Artery

Introduction: Vertebral arteries arise from the root of the neck as the first branches from the superior-posterior aspect of the subclavian arteries. They ascend the neck to enter the cranial cavity and supply blood to the brain. Methods: A total of 20 cadavers (in 10 years) were dissected for the study of variations in the origin of the vertebral artery. This study was conducte...

Endovascular treatment of left carotid artery to left subclavian vein AV fistula due to stab injury: case report.

Penetrating injuries to the neck have high morbidity and mortality rates because of the multiple vital structures present within this anatomic region. Endovascular treatment of an AV fistula of left common carotid artery and left subclavian vein subsequent to stab injury of the left supraclavicular region is presented in this case report.

A Penetrating Pellet Jeopardizing Internal Carotid Artery

Absence of the left common carotid artery with cervical origin of the right subclavian artery.

We report the case of a 1 1/2-year-old female child, who developed symptomatic hemorrhage from major aorto-pulmonary collaterals after surgery for Tetralogy of Fallot. During the course of embolization of the aorto-pulmonary collaterals, we discovered the presence of direct origin of the left internal and external carotid arteries from the aortic arch. Further, there was cervical origin of righ...
