Current diagnosis and management of blunt internal
carotid artery injury.
Surgery of these tumors can be challenging and used to be associated with significant mortality and morbidity because of their vascularity, involvement of internal
carotid artery and proximity to cranial nerves.
A: This cadaver dissection of the sphenoid sinus shows a very large dehiscent
carotid artery almost filling the sphenoid sinus.
Cruciferous Vegetables Especially Beneficial The analysis showed that women who ate the most vegetables (three or more daily servings) had
carotid artery walls on average 0.036 mm (4.6 percent) thinner than those eating less than two daily servings of vegetables.

'The study stresses the continued need for physicians to monitor and screen patients for both
carotid artery disease and atrial fibrillation, especially patients who have risk factors of either disease,' said Victoria Jacobs, a clinical researcher at Intermountain Medical Center Heart Institute in Utah, US.
However, "atrial fibrillation and
carotid artery disease are treatable, and addressing early on can help reduce the risk of developing dementia", Jacobs said.

Carotid artery injuries (CAI) constitute approximately 22% of all cervical vascular injuries (CVI) and out of this percentage common
carotid artery injuries (CCAI) constitute roughly 75% while internal
carotid artery injuries (ICAI) constitute roughly 20% [5-7].
Close inspection of the bone windowed CT images (Figure 2) reveals asymmetric lack of a bony left internal carotid canal consistent with congenital left internal
carotid artery (ICA) agenesis.
