Abstract

Cerebrovascular accidents (CVA) remain one of the major causes of disabilities and mortality worldwide. In the young, carotid artery dissection (CAD) accounts for close to one-quarter of ischaemic strokes, occurring either spontaneously or due to a traumatic mechanism such as strangulation. We hereby, report a case of a young adult with large-vessel occlusion due to post-strangulation internal CAD. This case highlights the importance of raising awareness of the possibility of CAD in the presence of any focal neurologic deficit due to strangulation.
撒哈拉以南非洲一名年轻成人的急性缺血性中风:颈动脉狭窄后的病例报告
脑血管意外(CVA)仍然是全球致残和致死的主要原因之一。在年轻人中,颈动脉夹层(CAD)占缺血性脑卒中的近四分之一,其发生可能是自发的,也可能是由于外伤机制(如勒死)造成的。在此,我们报告了一例因绞窄后内部 CAD 而导致大血管闭塞的年轻成人病例。本病例强调了在出现任何因勒颈导致的局灶性神经功能缺损时,提高对 CAD 可能性的认识的重要性。
