GUNSHOT WOUND TO THE NECK WITH THROMBOSIS OF THE COMMON CAROTID ARTERY IN THE DELAYED PERIOD. (ANALYSIS OF CLINICAL OBSERVATION)

Abstract

A case of non-penetrating neck injury with contusion and dissection of the common carotid artery with transition to the internal carotid artery is presented in a clinical observation. The clinical picture of the development of brain failure after thrombosis of the common and internal carotid arteries and regression of brain symptoms after reconstructive surgery is presented. A mathematical model of the lesion mechanism is analyzed separately. It is concluded that in case of a nonpenetrating wound of the neck with a traumatic weapon, the revision of the underlying tissues should be mandatory.
