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).
However, people who experience whiplash may develop one or more of the following symptoms, usually within the first few days after the injury: Neck pain and stiffness. Headaches. Pain in the shoulder or between the shoulder blades. Low back pain. Pain or numbness in the arm and/or hand. Dizziness.
