Abstract
Congenital hypoplasia of the internal carotid artery (ICA) is a rare condition, often asymptomatic due to collateral circulation. We report a 22-year-old male with a history of ischemic stroke and chronic headaches, where brain MRI and CT scans revealed right ICA hypoplasia. Imaging, particularly MR angiography and CT, is crucial for diagnosing ICA hypoplasia, evaluating collateral pathways, and detecting potential complications, ensuring accurate assessment and management.
