“…To our knowledge, this is the first successful case of multiple stenting for progressive CCA dissection after AAR. CCA dissection is a rare cause of cerebral ischemia, with only few case reports [ [7] , [8] , [9] , [10] ]. In particular, CCA dissection involving the ICA is thought to have a high risk of cerebral ischemia, as observed in our case [ 2 ].…”

“…Population demographics, activities and time of death in relation to the attack are recorded in Table 1, with a total of 50 survivors and 34 deaths, of which 10 were confirmed at the scene. There were nine 10,21,22,[25][26][27][28][29][30] paediatric cases of sufficient detail and only one paediatric fatality. 29 Pooled data from all cats: Anatomical injuries Of 84 included cases, 40 sustained their primary injury to the neck (Table 1, Group A), of which 29 were fatal.…”

Sequalae include polymicrobial infection, 9 enduring neurology 10 and complex bony and soft tissue neck wounds. 5 Generating knowledge of common injuries or complications from the specific mode of injury of a big cat attack, may lead to earlier identification of occult and treatable injury at the scene, and within a hospital.…”

Background Traumatic attacks from large feline predators cause a small yet significant burden of disease in rural populations, are increasing in frequency, cause complex injuries and worsen human–wildlife conflicts. Data on the traumatic injury pattern found in victims of these animals is sparse, and this study aimed to collate and synthesise patterns of injury to inform the care and management of these patients. Methods A multi-ethnographic literature search (PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and other sources) was performed on 12/1/21 to capture all available data describing anatomical injury and the mechanism of injury sustained by humans from attacks by lions, leopards and tigers. Quality and bias assessment was performed using the Joanna Briggs Critical Evaluation tools. Results Of 5110 studies identified, 42 were included in this review totalling 84 individual patient cases. A total of 85% of fatal injuries were due to exsanguination combined with neuroaxis injury of the neck. All wounds were susceptible to tissue loss, infection and long-term neuro-vascular complications. Leopards injured anterior-midline structures of the neck more often than did lions and tigers, while the latter caused high-energy fractures. Time lag to treatment for survivors of wild attacks extended to multiple days, and occult injury was common. Conclusion In addition to the primary finding of complex neck injury, this study generated specific patterns of injury seen from the included species and highlighted occult injury and healthcare disparity as challenges in providing patient care.

Traumatic common carotid artery dissection (CCAD) is rare. To our knowledge, only 14 case reports have described traumatic CCAD previously. Here, we report a case of CCAD in a patient with severe trauma. A 50-year-old man was lying on the road after drinking alcohol when a car drove over him. Computed tomography (CT) revealed multiple rib fractures with hemopneumothorax, lung contusion, flail chest, large amount of hematoma with bladder rupture, and fractures on the C6 spinous process, sacral ala, iliac bone, and pubic ramus. Repair of the bladder rupture, exploratory thoracotomy, and open reduction of multiple rib fractures were performed. Right side hemiparesis was observed on hospital day 4. Brain CT showed a large acute left middle cerebral artery infarction. CT angiography showed focal carotid dissection at the left common carotid artery with intimal flap. The CCAD was located at the C6 level. Clexane (enoxaparin sodium) treatment was initiated. An abdominal CT scan revealed a huge retroperitoneal hematoma and increased amount of hematoma in the prevesical and perivesical space, 10 days later. The patient died two days later. Although traumatic CCAD is rare, this case report provides useful information for trauma surgeons regarding the treatment and diagnosis of similar cases.
