  • Title: Delayed signs and symptoms after oropharyngeal trauma in a child.
    Author: Bar T, Zagury A, Nahlieli O, London D, Yoffe B, Bibi H.
    Journal: Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol Oral Radiol Endod; 2002 Jul; 94(1):15-7. PubMed ID: 12193887.
    Abstract:
    Injury to the oropharynx can be potentially life threatening. Innocent-looking injuries of the oropharynx may result in intravascular thrombosis of the internal carotid artery. The symptoms often appear some time after the initial injury. We present a case in which an apparently minor injury of the oropharynx developed into a life-threatening thrombus stretching from the internal carotid to the brain. Our patient underwent endarterectomy and thrombectomy. The case is presented with a review of the literature.
