A 50-year-old male was hit by a high-speed golf ball on the left lateral side of his neck. He collapsed immediately and was sent to hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The autopsy showed an extensive basal subarachnoid haemorrhage. Careful gross and histological examinations disclosed a rupture of the right vertebral artery at a site very close to the bifurcation. It was estimated that the impact of the golf ball on the left side of his neck resulted in the rupture of the contralateral vertebral artery, owing to its hyperextension. Although there are many reports on traumatic basal subarachnoid haemorrhage, the present type of trauma seems rare to our knowledge.
一名50岁男性在其颈部左侧被高速飞来的高尔夫球击中。他当即倒地,随后被送往医院,在医院被宣告死亡。尸检显示广泛的基底蛛网膜下腔出血。仔细的大体检查和组织学检查发现右侧椎动脉在非常靠近分叉处的位置破裂。据估计,高尔夫球对其颈部左侧的撞击导致对侧椎动脉因过度伸展而破裂。尽管有许多关于创伤性基底蛛网膜下腔出血的报道,但就我们所知,目前这种创伤类型似乎很罕见。
