Abstract
A case is described of a clinically occult carotid artery lesion secondary to penetrating trauma. Angiography displayed a small intimal defect, whereas surgical exploration revealed significant intimal damage requiring excision and interposition grafting. This case supports the benefit of continued definitive operative management for carotid artery injuries.
