Spontaneous carotid artery dissection is a growing cause of stroke, particularly in young adults. Early diagnosis and anticoagulation can lead to complete symptom resolution, highlighting its importance in cerebrovascular event evaluations.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Vascular Medicine
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Spontaneous carotid artery dissection (sCAD) is an increasingly recognized cause of stroke, headache, cranial nerve palsy, and ophthalmologic events.
  • Diagnosis can be challenging, even for experienced physicians, despite presenting signs and symptoms.

Observation:

  • A case report of a 38-year-old woman presenting with cortical stroke and visual disturbances.

Findings:

  • Diagnosis of spontaneous internal carotid artery dissection was confirmed using magnetic resonance imaging/angiography and conventional angiography.
  • Prompt anticoagulation therapy was initiated for the patient.

Implications:

  • Complete resolution of symptoms was achieved with anticoagulation.
