Abstract

Vascular injuries to the neck and base of the neck include injuries to the carotid artery, internal jugular vein, subclavian artery, brachial artery stem, anonymous vein, and vertebral artery excluding the external jugular vein.  Injuries to the carotid artery can cause acute cerebral ischemia, stroke, and massive blood loss, leading to death. Compared with peripheral vascular injuries, the carotid bundle has a very high mortality rate of 30-40%. Carotid Injuries is usually caused by a bullet, knife, or other sharp object. As early as the 60s of the last century, the principles of examination, diagnosis and treatment of vascular wounds in the neck and base of the neck were mentioned. Up to now, thanks to advances in vascular surgery, the diagnosis and management of vascular wounds in the neck and base of the neck have achieved many positive results. Objective: We report clinical information on a case of neck wound, common carotid artery rupture, left internal jugular vein diagnosed and treated successfully at Hospital 19-8, Ministry of Public Security.
