Carotidartery dissection, firstly described by Pratt-Thomas and Berger in 1947,typically begins in inner layer of artery wall, proceeds to the middle layer,and intramurally extends along length of the artery as a result of the pressureproduced by blood stream. This study aims to report a case in which internalcarotid artery dissection was diagnosed as secondary to trauma. A 24-year-oldmale patient was brought to the emergency room by 112 emergency service teamafter a motorcycle accident. Physical examination of the patient revealed a painfuldermabrasion in his right neck region and other system examinations were normal.Carotid-vertebral color Doppler ultrasonography was performed on the patient becausehe had a right neck pain. Accordingly, an intimal flap appearance compatiblewith dissection was observed on the right internal carotid artery (ICA) proximalsegment. Then, brain+cervical CT angiography was performed on the patient, and anappearance compatible with dissection was observed in the right ICA. Therefore,the patient was referred to neurology and neurosurgery consultation and accordinglyadmitted to neurosurgery intensive care unit. As a result, carotid arterydissection in addition to other intracranial pathologies should be considered amongdifferential diagnoses for patients with head and/or neck pain complaintsregardless of whether or not they have a trauma history.
