Influence of ligation of cervical arterial trunks in young age on the development of the skull and brain

The dressing and compression of the cervical vessels (sleepy and vertebrate), known even in ancient times, were treated differently and were subjected to the most varied interpretations during the course of a number of cases. (For those interested in the history of these operations, I refer to the article by N. Chevers, see literature). There was a time when, recognizing all the impunity of bandaging one carotid artery, the ligature of two carotids was considered an operation, inevitably leading to a lethal outcome.
