CASTILLO LAMAS, Libardo et al. Handling vascular lesions in the zone I of the neck. Case presentation. Rev.Med.Electrón. [online]. 2018, vol.40, n.2, pp. 480-487. ISSN 1684-1824.
ABSTRACT It is appraised that at least 5 to 10 % of all the organism trauma lesions involve the neck. In 30 % of the cases, any main structure of this zone is hurt. Vascular structures are damaged in 20 % while airway-digestive structures are injured in 10 %. The zone I lesions are difficult to handle because of several anatomic reasons and the organs they include. The cases of two patients with vascular lesions in the neck zone I are presented. A review of the treatment of neck trauma lesions was carried out, making special emphasis on the ones in zone I. Several current tendencies in these patients handling are dealt with.
