Abstract:
A case of spontaneous carotid artery dissection is presented. In the case described, superficial temporal artery-middle cerebral artery anastomosis was performed because of impending stroke. Surgical revascularization is indicated in a case that shows such a rapid evolution of stroke that spontaneous resolution of the dissection cannot be awaited.
