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).
This is a moderate whiplash injury which usually feels better within six to 12 months. There will be musculoskeletal signs, as well as neck pain, obvious swelling and signs of bruising. Full recovery from a Grade 2 injury can take up to two years, and compensation settlements can range from Â£4,000 to Â£12,000.
