A young man experienced fatal middle cerebral artery dissection after minor trauma. Autopsy revealed the dissection, missed by cerebral angiography, highlighting its importance in diagnosing internal carotid artery occlusion.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Vascular Surgery
  • Forensic Pathology

Background:

  • Cerebral artery dissection is a rare but serious vascular emergency.
  • Traumatic arterial dissection can occur after seemingly minor injuries.

Observation:

  • A 17-year-old male presented with symptoms suggestive of stroke following trivial trauma.
  • Initial diagnostic imaging, including cerebral arteriography, did not reveal arterial dissection.

Findings:

  • Post-mortem examination (autopsy) confirmed a fatal dissection of the middle cerebral artery.
  • The arterial dissection was the underlying cause of the patient's demise.

Implications:

  • Arterial dissection should be included in the differential diagnosis for patients with unexplained cerebral artery occlusion, particularly the supraclinoid internal carotid artery.
