Abstract

Acute ischemic stroke due to internal carotid artery (ICA) dissection after trauma is a rare complication. According to statistics, it caused a mortality rate of 60 - 65% of patients, 20% survived with severe neurological damages, and only 15% recovered well. The incompatibility between focal neurological deficits and images of brain lesion suggests internal carotid artery dissection, and early cerebral angiography for patients is required for diagnosis. To increase patients’ chances of survival and recovery, it is required to perform timely cerebral revascularization by endovascular intervention and placement of stent to reestablish cerebral blood flow. We hereby present two cases of internal carotid artery dissection after trauma with early diagnosis and successful vascular intervention.
