TRAUMATIC CAROTID ARTERY DISSECTION DUE TO SUDDEN BRAKING: CASE REPORT

Öz

Internal carotid artery dissection is one of the causes of ischemic stroke and has been increasingly diagnosed recently. Although it can be diagnosed by various imaging methods, magnetic resonance angiography is the best noninvasive diagnostic method due to its high sensitivity. In this article, a 16-year-old male patient diagnosed with stroke due to right internal carotid artery dissection is presented. The aim of this case report is to draw attention to the fact that even sudden braking on a motorcycle may cause arterial dissection in patients admitted to hospital due to lack of consciousness.

ANİ FRENE BAĞLI TRAVMATİK KAROTİS ARTER DİSEKSİYONU: OLGU SUNUMU

Öz

İnternal karotis arter diseksiyonu, iskemik inme nedenlerinden biri olup son zamanlarda artarak teşhis edilmektedir. Çeşitli görüntüleme yöntemleri ile teşhis edilebilmesine rağmen manyetik rezonans görüntüleme yüksek duyarlılığı nedeniyle en iyi tanısal yöntemdir. Bu yazıda sağ internal karotis arter diseksiyonuna bağlı inme tanısı alan 16 yaşındaki bir erkek hasta sunulmuştur. Bu olgu sunumunun amacı, bilinç kaybı nedeni ile hastaneye başvuran hastalarda motosiklet kullanımı sırasında ani frenin bile arteriyel diseksiyona neden olabileceğine dikkat çekmektir
