Lateral extracavitary vs. costotransversectomy approaches to the thoracic spine: reflections on lessons learned.

abstract：:A patient who sustained a gunshot wound to the neck and subsequent blunt trauma is presented. No angiogram was performed after the initial injury. Subsequently, the patient developed a cerebral embolus from a thrombus dislodged from a pseudoaneurysm of the cervical carotid artery, resulting in complete occlusion of th...
