Abstract
Internal carotid artery (ICA) injuries including dissection, pseudoane urysm, occlusion, and carotid-cavernous fistula (CCF) are well-recogni zed as potential consequences of blunt head trauma. We discuss a patie nt with a basal skull fracture and several types of carotid injury who was managed conservatively with excellent outcome.
