- Abstract
Spontaneous dissection of the internal carotid artery is an uncommon entity with a variable clinical presentation. A high index of suspicion is required to make the diagnosis, and prompt diagnosis and treatment with anticoagulation are essential for improved patient outcomes. Duplex ultrasound provides a safe and reliable imaging modality for early diagnosis and follows up. The authors present a case of spontaneous internal carotid artery dissection with duplex ultrasound findings and a review of the literature.
