Abstract:
A 49-year-old patient with a history of aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease presented with carotid artery injury following revision functional endoscopic sinus surgery. Carotid artery injury is a rare but catastrophic complication of this surgery. The patient was transferred to our tertiary facility with interventional radiology for immediate management of the carotid artery injury. This case reaffirms that any surgery can have disastrous complications and highlights the importance of multidisciplinary management of complications such as carotid artery injury.
