Abstract
Traumatic cerebrovascular injuries following blunt or penetrating trauma are common and carry a high risk of permanent disability or death. Proper screening, diagnosis, and treatment of these lesions is essential to improve patient outcomes. Advances in imaging continue to improve the accuracy of non-invasive diagnosis of these injuries while new clinical data provide better evidence for optimal management, whether medical or invasive. Here, we review screening, diagnosis, and treatment of traumatic cerebrovascular injuries.
