Traumatic Pseudoaneurysm

Injury to the carotid artery can occur in the setting of blunt and penetrating trauma. Such injury can result in pseudoaneurysm formation. We present a case of posttraumatic common carotid pseudoaneurysm (PTCP) that was diagnosed and treated 2 months after a motor vehicle accident and review the literature on the presentation, diagnosis, and management of PTCP.

Purpose: To report a case of post-traumatic internal carotid artery dissection and pseudoaneurysm formation at the C-1 level successfully treated by a percutaneous endovascular technique. Methods and Results: A 20-year-old female presented 72 hours after a motor vehicle accident with incomplete occulosympathetic paresis (Horner's syndrome), carotidynia, and left-sided weakness. Arteriography confirmed the diagnosis of carotid dissection and an associated 1.5-cm × 2.5-cm pseudoaneurysm at the C-1 level. Neuroradiologists embolized the pseudoaneurysm with Guglielmi detachable coils and controlled the dissection with placement of a Wallstent. Conclusions: This report illustrates successful percutaneous endovascular treatment of a carotid dissection and pseudoaneurysm near the base of the skull.

Complex Injuries

Penetrating trauma to the orbit may cause complex injuries involving the bone, globe, and brain. Successful treatment requires a strategic scheme for preoperative assessment and management and a multidisciplinary surgical approach. These principles are demonstrated by report of a motor vehicle accident in which the driver sustained orbital impalement by a gearshift knob.

Tomography Scan

This case report describes a case of aortic injury with pseudo-aneurysm in a 3-year-old Saudi boy following a motor vehicle accident. The diagnosis was suspected on computed tomography scan, and emergency surgery was performed. A Dacron graft was inserted to repair the injured aorta. Postoperatively, absent femoral, and distal pulses were noted, and thromboembolectomy was performed with good outcome. We believe that our study makes a significant contribution to the literature because it raises awareness of aortic injury and rupture in pediatric patients with multi-organ trauma following motor vehicle accidents. A high index of suspicion and early intervention are essential in improving outcomes.

Here we report the case of a 20-year-old female restrained driver who presented to the emergency department (ED) after a motor vehicle accident. She sustained an isolated fracture of her left cuboid, consistent with a nutcracker cuboid fracture. A cuboid fracture is considered rare. It is even more uncommon for a cuboid fracture to occur in isolation, without other associated injuries to the foot. We discuss the mechanism, relevant anatomy, diagnosis, and principles of treatment of the nutcracker cuboid fracture.

This case report is the first documented case of a serious motor vehicle accident caused by a patient driving in a controlled ankle motion (CAM) walker boot. The real-life nature and severity of injury in this case supplements the existing experimental studies on the dangers of driving while immobilized in a CAM boot and is likely to resonate strongly with both patients and surgeons. With CAM boots used so commonly after lower limb surgery, this case not only has the potential to change practice as an educational tool for patients but also raises important medicolegal implications for orthopaedic surgeons.

A complete traumatic talus dislocation is an exceedingly rare injury pattern. A case of reimplantation of an open traumatic complete intact talus dislocation and distal fibula fracture following a motor vehicle accident is reported. A review of the literature and emergency medicine management recommendations follows.
