Abstract
The study was conducted in the Department of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology, Indira Gandhi Government Medical College, Nagpur. Total 100 cases were examined to study various patterns, anatomical location and histological extent of the cervical carotid artery injuries. Traumatic vascular injury to the extra cranial circulation appears relatively underdiagnosed in part because of frequent co-existence of traumatic brain injury. In this study, intimal tears were present in 15(57.69%) and compound intimo-medial tears were found in 15(57.69%) subjects of the 26 subjects with positive findings. Medial tears were noted in 12(46.15%) subjectsand total 8 complete wall transections were present. It seems, the intimal tear is the basic and most common injury which leads to further thrombosis and occlusion.
