Abstract:
Three cases of penetrating neck injury associated with an unsuspected blunt carotid injury are reported. Attention is drawn to the possibility of this rare association, that can cause irreversible damage, if overlooked. Early angiogram and possibly duplex Doppler scanning are warranted to prevent neurologic sequelae.
