Abstract
Cerebrovascular injuries can occur in blunt or penetrating head and neck trauma. A high index of suspicion based on mechanism of injury and clinical assessment warrants screening for intracranial and extracranial vascular lesions. Conventional angiogram has been and remains the gold standard for diagnosis of these injuries, but computerized tomography angiography offers a fast, noninvasive method of imaging for neurotrauma patients. Advantages and disadvantages of each modality are discussed. [Neurol Res 2002; 24: S13-S16]
