BACKGROUND Posttraumatic vascular lesions of the carotid artery (PLCA) are infrequent but have a high morbid-mortality, so early diagnosis and treatment is important. OBJECTIVE To review the clinical and radiological findings of the PLCA with the hypothesis that there are signs which permit early diagnosis. METHODS A retrospective study of 9 patients (p) with PLCA. RESULTS The cause was road traffic accident (4p), fall (1p) or a single abrupt cervical movement (4p). The initial clinical feature was cervical pain (1p), deafness (1p), Claude-Bernard-Horner syndrome (4p) or symptoms of a cerebral vascular accident (6p). Cranial CT showed a cerebral infarct in the territory of the middle cerebral artery (6p), subarachnoid hemorrhage (1p) or normal (3p). Diagnosis of the vascular lesion was made using magnetic resonance (9p), arteriography (5p) and echo-Doppler (4p). The vascular lesions were: severe stenosis due to a mural thrombosis (3p), complete obstruction due to thrombosis (4p) and pseudoaneurysm (2p). CONCLUSIONS PLCA should be suspected following craniofacial-cervical trauma when there was an abrupt neck movement, a Claude-Bernard-Horner syndrome is present or a cerebral infarct in the territory of the middle cerebral artery is shown.

D008279 Magnetic Resonance Imaging Non-invasive method of demonstrating internal anatomy based on the principle that atomic nuclei in a strong magnetic field absorb pulses of radiofrequency energy and emit them as radiowaves which can be reconstructed into computerized images.

D002544 Cerebral Infarction The formation of an area of NECROSIS in the CEREBRUM caused by an insufficiency of arterial or venous blood flow. Infarcts of the cerebrum are generally classified by hemisphere (i.e., left vs. right), lobe (e.g., frontal lobe infarction), arterial distribution (e.g., INFARCTION, ANTERIOR CEREBRAL ARTERY), and etiology (e.g., embolic infarction).

D006259 Craniocerebral Trauma Traumatic injuries involving the cranium and intracranial structures (i.e., BRAIN; CRANIAL NERVES; MENINGES; and other structures). Injuries may be classified by whether or not the skull is penetrated (i.e., penetrating vs. nonpenetrating) or whether there is an associated hemorrhage.

D006732 Horner Syndrome A syndrome associated with defective sympathetic innervation to one side of the face, including the eye. Clinical features include MIOSIS; mild BLEPHAROPTOSIS; and hemifacial ANHIDROSIS (decreased sweating)(see HYPOHIDROSIS). Lesions of the BRAIN STEM; cervical SPINAL CORD; first thoracic nerve root; apex of the LUNG; CAROTID ARTERY; CAVERNOUS SINUS; and apex of the ORBIT may cause this condition.
