Abstract
A 53-year-old healthy man with history of left internal carotid artery dissection in 2006 presented with right-sided facial pain with paraesthesia associated with taste and speech disturbances. A CT angiogram was done without further delay considering the patient's history of dissection, and revealed a non-occlusive right-sided internal carotid artery dissection at the skull base level. The neurologist, neurosurgeons and stroke team were involved in the care, and the patient was immediately moved to a tertiary hospital for further intervention. Brain MRI and magnetic resonance angiography did not reveal further progression of the dissection and the patient was therefore medically managed.
