Two cases of post-traumatic thrombosis of the internal carotid artery are presented, which are of interest because of their relative rarity. A detailed understanding of the pathogenesis and variety of clinical presentations, an adequate appraisal of the diverse proposed treatments, and an improvement in the prognosis, which is poor even in young patients-these await further enquiry and research.
A recent case of bilateral internal carotid artery thrombosis encountered by the authors prompted a review of the literature on this subject. The lesion is compatible with, if not a normal life, at least prolonged survival, owing to the development of collateral circulation, which until the onset of thrombosis is of negligible proportions. The prognosis, although poor, may nonetheless be improved in future years if the practice is adopted of investigating the patient completely upon the appearance of the slightest symptoms. This may lead to early diagnosis and perhaps to better treatment results.
