Acute Ischaemic Stroke in a Young Adult in Sub-Saharan Africa: A Case Report of Post-strangulation Carotid Artery Dissection
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.
