Abstract
We describe a case of internal carotid artery dissection, an important cause of ischemic cerebrovascular disease. Presentations include a headache, which is usually unilateral to the side of carotid dissection, sharp, nonthrobbing in nature with radiation from the neck. The clinical presentations, investigations, and treatment of the disease are discussed.
