Patients can be asymptomatic or clinical symptoms may include headache, transient ischemic attack, stroke, loss of consciousness, hemiparesis, aphasia and Horner syndrome, typically occurring within hours to days. Prognosis is good if diagnosed and treated early. As cerebral ischemia and neurological deficits may develop subsequently, it is essential that carotid artery dissection should be considered, and possible cases evaluated and diagnosed appropriately. In this article, we present a case of internal carotid artery dissection with diagnostic neuro-imaging findings, that occurred after 6 hours of blunt trauma and subsequent cerebral infarction following a car accident. Clinical features, neuro-radiological diagnostic methods and treatments options are discussed with relevant literature.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessTrauma; carotid artery; dissection; strokeArticle18416216710.4274/Tnd.26234WOS:000217533400006N/A
