Abstract

Post-traumatic carotid artery dissection is one of the major causes of ischemic stroke in young patients; its diagnosis remains a challenge for clinicians because of its variable clinical presentation. An otherwise healthy 37-year-old man was referred to the intensive care unit of our faculty for the management of multiple trauma because of a car accident. At 11 days from admission, his doctor noticed the advent of anisocoria. A prompt treatment was instituted with anti-platelet and-coagulant agents. The patient had a complete resolution of symptoms. The prognosis was good, and the patient achieved a complete clinical recovery. He was discharged without any sequelae.

Özet

Post travmatik karotis arter diseksiyonları, genç hastalarda akut arteryel iskemik infarktın en sık nedenlerinden biri olup, değişken klinik bulgular nedeniyle tanısının konulmasında güçlükler yaşanabilmektedir. Herhangi bir hastalığı olmayan 37 yaşındaki erkek hasta,trafik kazası sonucu multitravma nedeniyle fakültemiz yoğun bakım servisine kabul edildi. Hastanın yatışının 11. gününde anizokori varlığı tespit edildi. Antitrombosit ve antikoagülan ajanlar ile tedavisi sağlandı. Prognozu iyi seyreden hasta sekelsiz, sağlıklı bir şekilde taburculuğu sağlandı.
