Abstract
Blunt cerebrovascular injuries belong to relatively less frequent injuries, although their incidence has been increasing during the last decade. More than 90% of them are related to traffic accidents, particularly combined with cervical spine hyperextension or hyperflexion.
Early diagnostic procedures and anticoagulation-therapy may bring better clinical results. The four vessels cerebral angiopraphy remains, however, as the golden standard in diagnostic procedures.
The same in treatment applies for systemic application of low-molecular heparin. In some cases, methods of intervention radiology can be used.
