  • Title: Thrombosis of the internal carotid artery due to soft palate injury.
    Author: Mains B, Nagle M.
    Journal: J Laryngol Otol; 1989 Aug; 103(8):796-7. PubMed ID: 2769055.
    Abstract:
    Thrombosis of the internal carotid artery is a rare complication of soft palate injury, only 16 cases having been previously documented. We present the case of a 5 1/2 year-old-boy who sustained an apparently trivial laceration to the right aspect of the soft palate. However, 48 hours after injury, a right cerebral infarct occurred with subsequent left hemiparesis. On supportive and rehabilitative management he made a good recovery over a period of one year.
