Blunt cerebrovascular injury (BCVI) Blunt cerebrovascular injury (BCVI) can have severe neurologic sequelae. Early diagnosis is crucial, as BCVI can be seen on imaging modalities before the onset of neurologic symptoms. If diagnosis and treatment is delayed until after the onset of profound neurologic deficits, revascularization does little to improve outcomes. In addition to preventing neurologic damage, early diagnosis of BCVI in high-risk, asymptomatic patients with arteriogram is cost- effective in stroke-prevention. #Blunt #cerebrovascular #injury #BCVI #diagnosis #Imaging #Indications #emergency #Neurology #East #Guideline
