Evolution of Internal Carotid Artery Occlusion in Non-Traumatic Carotid Dissection
Octavia RUSU, Mihai VASILE, Ovidiu BAJENARU and Florina ANTOCHI
ABSTRACT
Cervical artery dissection is becoming a more frequently identified cause of ischemic stroke among the young and middleaged patients. The pathogenesis of non-traumatic dissection has not been yet entirely elucidated, but certain risk factors have been reported. We present the case of a young patient with ischemic stroke in the middle cerebral artery territory secondary to internal carotid artery dissection and occlusion, in whom we identified two rarely incriminated risk factors: migraine and recent infection (pneumonia).
