Abstract
|
|
|
|
Blunt injury to the carotid artery is rare but may produce a devastating outcome. Dissection of the internal carotid artery is the most frequent cause of trauma related cerebral infarction, whereas post-traumatic middle cerebral artery dissection (MCAD) has rarely been encountered clinically. We report a case of cerebral infarction who suggested post-traumatic MCAD. The patho-physiology, clinical presentation, and treatment options of trauma induced MCAD are discussed.
