“…A number of patients have been seen with posttraumatic intracranial occlusions on arteriography, and when followed with serial arteriograms or post-mortem examinations in many (Higazi 1963, Hollin and Silverstein 1965, Hollin et al 1966, Jacobsen and Skinhoj 1957, Verbiest and Calliauw 1959, Wolpert and Schecter 1966, though not all (Duman and Stephens 1963), the vessels were seen to have reopened. Some of these lesions, too, may have been embolic.…”

“…But when seen early, collateral circulation from the posterior communicating artery and contralateral internal carotid artery and to some extent from the ipsilateral ophthalmic artery suggested a favorable prognosis (Jacobsen and Skinhoj 1957). In one post-traumatic case, progressive development of collateral circulation was shown by serial angiography over an eight month period without coincident clinical improvement (Higazi 1963).…”

A case of partially occluding post-traumatic thrombosis of the internal carotid artery and secondary embolism of the middle cerebral artery is reported. The patient was treated with Thrombolysin with coincident resolution of clinical symptoms and signs and clearing of the lesions on arteriography. This may have been fortuitous. The subject of traumatic carotid artery thrombosis is reviewed in detail, and its pathophysiology is discussed, especially in relation to facts known about occlusive vascular disease secondary to atherosclerosis and related embolic phenomena. Suggestions are made concerning the treatment of this condition, especially with regard to developing rational criteria for opening vascular beds through evaluation of collateral cerebral blood flow. The uses of microvascular surgical techniques and thrombolytic therapy are considered.

“…In -addition, unilateral thrombosis of the internal carotid artery, both with and without basilar skull fracture, has frequently been reported after closed head and neck injury (Ecker, 1945;Higazi, 1963, Hockaday, 1959Murray, 1957;Northcroft and Morgan, 1944;Schneider and Lemmen, 1952). Bilateral occlusion of the internal carotid arteries as a cause of death secondary to basilar skull fracture has apparently not been reported.…”
