Yemen i/ËjÉmÉn/, officially known as the Republic of Yemen, is an Arab country in Western Asia, occupying the southwestern to southern end of the Arabian Peninsula. Yemen is the second largest country in the peninsula, occupying 527,970 km2. The coastline stretches for about 2,000 km.
The case described here is unusual, because it concerns a pseudoaneurysm of the common carotid artery (before truncal bifurcation), a rarely observed localization. Moreover, this pathological condition was an unexpected event, being the uncommon result of a minor blunt trauma (whiplash trauma in a car crash).
A whiplash injury can cause long term problems. Many people know you can get hurt in a low speed car crash as well as in a high speed car accident but donât know about the hundreds of studies done by scientists about whiplash in automobiles. Most crashes that cause whiplash only take two-tenths of a second.
