Abstract

The diagnosis of internal carotid artery dissection after trauma is often delayed or missed due to other injuries, leading to potentially permanent neurologic deficits, or even death. Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent devastating consequences. In this report, we present a case of delayed onset but rapidly progressive traumatic intracranial internal carotid artery dissection to emphasize the timing of magnetic resonance imaging with angiography.
