Abstrakt:	Carotid artery injury is a rare disease often caused by neck trauma or irradiation of head and neck cancer. It is not easy to diagnose quickly without these backgrounds. Herein, we report a case of a 52‐year‐old man with no history of trauma or irradiation whose carotid artery was found to be injured. It was suggested that patients without any other disease but hypertension could have carotid artery injury. Additionally, it was challenging to detect extravasation from the carotid artery by computed tomography scan and ultrasonography in the emergency department. We should consider the possibility of carotid artery injury when examining patients with sudden neck swelling, even without any history of trauma or irradiation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
