| Popis: | Ischemic stroke remains today a major health problem that requires adequate management and etiological research. The prevalence in young people has increased.This article is a case report of a 37-year-old female diabetic patient who had an acute ischemic stroke due to spontaneous dissection of the right internal carotid artery.The article discusses the epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of cervical artery dissection, which is a common cause of stroke in young patients. The use of antiplatelet and anticoagulant therapy, as well as endovascular and surgical interventions, is also discussed.Spontaneous carotid bulb dissection is an emergency in ischemic stroke in young people. The prognosis depends on the severity of the initial injury and the extent of collateral circulation, with successful recovery in 75% of cases. |
