Blunt Cerebrovascular Injury-Like Injury Observed in Patients With Craniofacial Self-Inflicted Gunshot Wounds

Abstract: Background: Although blunt cerebrovascular injury (BCVI) is recognized as a risk factor for trauma morbidity and mortality, little is described regarding similar cerebrovascular injury (CVI) in patients with penetrating wounds. The authors aim to characterize these injuries in the craniofacial self-inflicted gunshot wound (SIGSW) population. Methods: An institutional review board (IRB)-approved retrospective nstudy was conducted on patients presenting to the R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center with SIGSWs betwe… Show more

“… 8–15 The injury characteristics, cause of trauma, complications following injury, symptom progress, neurological recovery, outcome, treatment approach, and BCVI-related data in elderly patients are different from those of younger and middle-age patients. 6 , 7 , 8–13 , 15 Despite a consistent trend toward older age when CSI occurs, only a few articles have reported on the most severe complication caused by CSI in elderly patients, that of BCVI. 6 , 7 , 15 When the doctors miss several important diagnostic clues, brain dysfunction or fatal complications will be led by medical misdiagnosis.…”

Therefore, diagnosis of BCVI at the first emergency unit is quite important.…”
