title: Carotid artery false aneurysm caused by blunt trauma. A case report.
abstract: Different mechanisms of blunt trauma producing carotid artery false aneurysms are described in literature. We report one such case caused by combination of two mechanisms: accidental hyperextension of the neck, and subsequent sudden forceful hit by a ball during the water polo match.
