摘要
Internal carotid artery dissection is one of the most frequent causes of stroke in young people. Seventy percents of cases are under 50 years old and there is a slight predominance of males. Trivial head injury or neck trauma may cause dissection. Magnetic resonance angiography is important in diagnosis and management planning. Early anti-thrombotic therapy is the main treatment modality. In this case report, a 27 years old male van driver who has played boxing for several years presented to us with acute confusion after a car accident. The patient was put on warfarin for several months and enjoyed good recovery at follow up. (Hong Kong j.emerg.med. 2012;19:49-53)
