Posterior communicating artery injury and symptomatic vasospasm after high-energy blunt head injury: illustrative case

BACKGROUND: Most of the published literature pertaining to blunt traumatic cerebrovascular injury (BCVI) is focused on extracranial arterial injury. Studies of intracranial arterial injury are relatively uncommon. OBSERVATIONS: The clinical course of a patient who sustained an injury to the right po...

Sumario:BACKGROUND: Most of the published literature pertaining to blunt traumatic cerebrovascular injury (BCVI) is focused on extracranial arterial injury. Studies of intracranial arterial injury are relatively uncommon. OBSERVATIONS: The clinical course of a patient who sustained an injury to the right posterior communicating artery followed by infarction due to vasospasm after severe traumatic brain injury is presented, along with a focused literature review. LESSONS: Intracranial BCVI is uncommon, and this report may serve to raise awareness of BCVI management and the importance of recognizing symptomatic vasospasm due to BCVI.
