Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Vascular Surgery
  • Trauma Surgery

Background:

  • Blunt traumatic carotid dissection is a rare but serious injury.
  • Delayed presentation of symptoms can complicate diagnosis and management.

Observation:

  • Five patients with blunt traumatic carotid dissection presented with delayed symptoms (2 weeks to 6 months).
  • Common causes included severe head injury or direct neck trauma.
  • Clinical manifestations varied, including cerebrovascular symptoms and vision loss.

Findings:

  • Arteriography revealed characteristic findings like the "string sign" and cervical carotid aneurysms.
  • Associated complications included intracranial dissecting aneurysms and siphon occlusion.
  • Treatment approaches ranged from surgical interventions (thromboendarterectomy, aneurysmorraphy, carotid ligation) to medical management.

Implications:

  • This case series highlights the importance of considering delayed carotid dissection in patients with relevant trauma history.
  • Understanding injury mechanisms and forensic implications is vital for patient care.
  • The diverse therapeutic options underscore the need for individualized treatment plans.
