Vascular injuries can not only cause potentially, life-threatening hemorrhage but also need profound surgical expertise in man- agement. Development of collateral circulation in neck is well known： however, there is scarcity of literature on the role of collateral formation in neck trauma. Here, we present a unique case of pene- trating gunshot injury to neck with right common carotid and right subclavian artery injury with hemorrhagic shock managed with ligation of these vessels as a life-saving procedure. The patient pre- sented ~ith no neurological or motor de~,cits in immediate postoperative period owing to the collateral circulation between right vertebral artery and right common carotid and right subclavian artery.展开更多
