Harlequin’s face — a rare form of autonomic dysfunction during dissection of the internal carotid artery

A Penetrating Pellet Jeopardizing Internal Carotid Artery

Noninvasive monitoring of internal carotid artery dissection.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Internal carotid artery dissection has increasingly been reported as a cause of transient ischemic attack or stroke. However, scarce data exist on the natural history of the arterial lesions and the temporal profile of recanalization. METHODS We followed 48 patients with 50 angiographically confirmed internal carotid artery dissections by sequential duplex Doppler studi...

Internal carotid artery dissection with occlusion during heparin therapy

Internal carotid artery dissection (ICAD) is frequently treated with anticoagulation. Objections against anticoagulation are based on solely theoretical concerns of progressive intramural haematoma.We describe a patient with progressive stenoocclusion of the internal carotid artery (ICA) due to intramural haematoma as a possible complication of immediate heparin treatment in ICAD. Heparin dosag...

dissection of extracranial internal carotid artery due to balloon guiding catheter resulting in asymptomatic internal carotid artery occlusion

dissection of the internal carotid artery (ica) is a rare condition that accounts for a significant proportion of ischemic strokes in young adults. iatrogenic dissection as a complication of neurointerventional procedures is a traumatic dissection which has been reported relatively rare in the literature. in this report, a case of dissection of the ica is reported that was caused by repetitive ...

Internal carotid artery dissection after childbirth.

A 44-year-old woman developed a left cerebral infarction secondary to internal carotid artery dissection 6 days after childbirth. A cesarean section had been carried out after 14 hours of strenuous unsuccessful labor. Although in the past some authors have implicated oral contraceptives as a cause for carotid dissection, carotid dissection associated with childbirth has not been previously desc...
