Cerebral artery occlusions in children due to trauma to the head and neck

Abstract

Cerebral artery occlusions subsequent to trauma involving the head or neck developed in 6 patients aged 20 months to 14 years. On arteriography, occlusion of the internal carotid artery was found in 3 cases and occlusion of the middle cerebral artery in 3. Remission of symptoms was generally poor, and all patients showed residual symptoms.
