Posttraumatic Cerebellar Infarction after Repeated Sport-related Minor Head Injuries in a Young Adult: A Case Report

“…Although there remains much contention over the existence of trauma-induced arterial spasm in the absence of arterial wall damage, several reports of traumatic arterial spasm have been reported. 30 , 31) Previous reports of cerebral infarction after minor head injury have reported that rapid time course, recurrent and transient symptoms, and reversible imaging changes are consistent with intermittent arterial spasm. 5 – 7) They would support our hypothesis.…”

Simultaneous mandibular Jaw‐in‐a‐Day and maxillary All‐on‐4 rehabilitation in a single surgery for severe facial trauma: A case report

“…The kinetic energy of a firearm projectile creates complex injury patterns involving hard and soft tissue avulsion, thermal injury, necrosis, and damage to distant structures from the pulsatile shock wave produced. 11 Therefore, complex injuries caused by gunshot wounds may necessitate treatment in a staged fashion to allow the full extent of damage to declare itself prior to definitive reconstruction.…”

Comparison of In-Hospital Mortality and Neurosurgical Intervention Between Intracranial Gunshot Wounds Arising From Long Guns and Handguns: A Propensity Score Matched Study

“…36 In comparison, the lesser energy and lower velocity projectiles fired by handguns are less likely to be immediately fatal. 37 Certain handgun ammunition is designed to deform within soft tissue and fracture on contact with hard tissue such as bone, limiting penetration and increasing the likelihood of retained fragments. Retained fragments can cause increased risk of infection and tissue irritation, which is less amenable to neurosurgical intervention.…”
