  • Title: Cerebral microembolism and extracranial internal carotid artery dissection.
    Author: Babikian VL, Forteza AM, Gavrilescu T, Samaraweera R.
    Journal: J Ultrasound Med; 1996 Dec; 15(12):863-6. PubMed ID: 8947862.
    Abstract:
    Although extracranial ICA dissection is recognized as a cause of cerebral infarction, 1-3 the pathogenesis of ischemic symptoms in an individual patient with the condition is not always understood, making treatment decisions difficult. We describe a patient with traumatic cervical ICA dissection diagnosed on the basis of noninvasive tests, in whom TCD ultrasonography was used to detect ipsilateral distal microembolization associated with clinical deterioration.
