Abstract
The internal carotid artery occlusion caused by head and neck trauma, also known as traumatic intracranial artery occlusion, is relatively rare clinically. Traumatic skull base fracture is a common complication of traumatic brain injury. Traumatic skull base fracture is one of the causes of traumatic internal carotid artery occlusion. If not detected early and treated in time, the prognosis of patients is poor. This editorial makes a relevant analysis of this disease.
