Here's the case scenario.  I'm really only interested in YES or NO answers
based on the case.  I've read the literature.

A 4 y.o. wrecks her bike (?speed).  She strikes her right anterior neck,
directly over the SCM groove, zone II, on the round end of the handle bar.
There is no LOC.  There is a hematoma, non-expanding, non-pulsatile, no
bruit or thrill.  No neuro signs/symptoms at all.  But, there is a round
"gouge" mark in the shape of the handle bar directly over the hematoma.

My question:  Do you screen for BCI using a CTA or other contrast study of
your choice? 

I've reviewed the literature, but I'm interested to see how the list-serv
members would evaluate this.

Thank you in advance.
