Abstract
Background: Internal carotid artery dissection is an uncommon yet important cause of ischemic stroke in young individuals without any known cerebrovascular risk factors, often resulting in high morbidity and mortality. When patients exhibit significant neurological deficits following blunt trauma to the head or neck, carotid artery injury should be suspected until ruled out. Early detection and intervention guided by a structured algorithm, can help prevent severe brain damage.
