We describe a case of acute stroke due to a spontaneous carotid dissection. Doppler sonography performed 12 hours after stroke and repeated in the following days suggested a dissection of the right internal carotid artery, then confirmed by angiography. The dissection could be unrecognized because of a complete normalization of the flow within the fifth day. This case shows the importance of performing an early ultrasonic examination in stroke patients.
我们描述了一例因自发性颈动脉夹层导致的急性中风病例。中风后12小时进行的多普勒超声检查，并在随后几天重复检查，提示右侧颈内动脉夹层，随后血管造影证实。由于在第五天内血流完全恢复正常，夹层可能未被识别。该病例显示了对中风患者进行早期超声检查的重要性。
