PENATE RODRIGUEZ, . Yolanda et al. Spontaneous dissection of the common carotid as a cause of high digestive bleeding: On the purpose of a case. Rev. Med. Electrón. [online]. 2009, vol.31, n.1, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1684-1824.

High digestive bleeding is an entity of frequent presentation at the hospital emergency care services, and in spite of the therapeutic advances, it still presents a high surgical mortality. When a patient with high digestive bleeding enters the service, we take care of checking it, evaluating its intensity and taking fast measures to treat it. We present a case in which, to determine its etiology, we directed the inquiry to the main causes that may originate this syndrome, finding some details that surprised us and led to the conclusion that the cause was infrequent in these events.
