Interesting thought.  I'm not sure that the data supposes  being as
aggressive as you are.  This patient didn't have a seat belt  mark on her
neck and no loss of consciousness.  We didn't identify any  neck trauma. 



No, but by definition, she had enough force applied to her neck to disrupt  
any preexisting carotid lesions, just from head motion in a MVC hard enough to  
leave bruises on her belly.
 
So what was the source of the shower of micro emboli?
