Entry term(s) lesiones de la arterias carótidas
lesiones traumáticas de las arterias carótidas
pseudoaneurisma de la carótida
Scope note: Daños producidos en las ARTERIAS CARÓTIDAS causados por una fuerza no penetrante o un traumatismo penetrante, tal como TRAUMATISMO CRANEOENCEFÁLICO, LESIONES TORÁCICAS y LESIONES CERVICALES. Las arterias carótidas lesionadas pueden llevar a TROMBOSIS DE LA ARTERIA CARÓTIDA, FÍSTULA DEL SENO CARÓTIDO-CAVERNOSO, formación de pseudoaneurismas y DISECCIÓN DE LA ARTERIA CARÓTIDA INTERNA. (Am J Forensic Med Pathol 1997, 18:251; J Trauma 1994, 37:473).

Scope note: Damages to the CAROTID ARTERIES caused either by blunt force or penetrating trauma, such as CRANIOCEREBRAL TRAUMA; THORACIC INJURIES; and NECK INJURIES. Damaged carotid arteries can lead to CAROTID ARTERY THROMBOSIS; CAROTID-CAVERNOUS SINUS FISTULA; pseudoaneurysm formation; and INTERNAL CAROTID ARTERY DISSECTION.
