title: Traumatic pseudoaneurysms of the common carotid and vertebral artery in a four-year-old child.
abstract: Pseudoaneurysms of the neck arteries are rare lesions usually traumatic and less frequently infectious in origin. They are often described as case reports. We describe here an unusual occurrence of pseudoaneurysms in the common carotid and vertebral artery in a four-year-old child victim of a stab wound in the neck treated by parent artery occlusion of the vertebral and common carotid arteries.
