[Injury of craniocervical arteries: imaging findings and therapy].
Direct or indirect injury of craniocervical vessels may be the consequence of an accident, may result from tumor arrosion, or may even occur spontaneously. Many of these vascular lesions can be detected using modern non-invasive vascular imaging techniques such as CT angiography and MR angiography. These traumatic vascular lesions can usually be treated using endovascular techniques. This overview describes neuroradiological findings for traumatic lesions of cervical and cranial vessels as well as endovascular treatment options.
