Abstract

Nous rapportons le cas d’un travailleur manuel de 32 ans présentant une plaie cervicale par projectile métallique avec traumatisme de l’artère carotide primitive et de l’artère sous-clavière gauches. L’atteinte des troncs artériels supra-aortiques a été suspectée devant l’apparition retardée d’un déficit moteur du membre supérieur droit. Initialement, l’état clinique du patient et les caractéristiques de la plaie cervicale ont été des éléments faussement rassurants. Par cette observation, nous voulons rappeler l’extrême prudence et la rigueur nécessaires dans la prise en charge des plaies cervicales par projectiles.

The damage to the supra-aortic arterial trunks was suspected regarding the right upper limb motorial deficit late appearance. Initially, the patient clinical state and the cervical wound characteristics were erroneously encouraging elements. By this comment, we remind you the necessary harshness and the extreme precaution that need to be observed in the care coverage of cervical injuries by projectiles.
