We present a case of a 37-year-old man who sustained a single gunshot wound (penetrating zones I and II) and internal carotid artery injury. Optimal evaluation and management of vascular injury remains controversial. Literature on the operative techniques of carotid artery injuries is reviewed.

Key Words: gunshot • carotid artery • surgical repair
