Recurrent ischemic stroke due to internal carotid artery dissection

Abstract

A 73-year-old male was admitted to the neurology department complaining of right hemiparesis lasting for 19 hours. At admission, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) showed acute ischemia in the left cerebral hemisphere, but brain MR angiography and ultrasonography of the carotid artery were unremarkable.
