Dear Editor,
Extracranial carotid artery dissection (CAD) is one of the
major consequences of blunt head and neck trauma, and a
main etiology of ischemic stroke in young adults; the carotid
lesions are described in accidents of motorcycle drivers with or
without the helmet [1-5]. Blunt cervical vascular injury is a nonpenetrating
trauma to the carotid or vertebral arteries caused
either by direct neck injury or by the shearing of these cervical
vessels; the estimated incidence of vascular lesions is low, only
near 1% of the blunt trauma.
