Carotid artery dissection is a significant cause of ischaemic stroke in all age groups and accounts for a large percentage of strokes in young patients. Carotid dissection can be caused by trauma, underlying connective tissue disease, hypertension, mechanical injury or can be spontaneous. We present an exceedingly rare case of carotid dissection caused by an elongated styloid process, causing direct mechanical damage to the carotid artery.
颈动脉夹层是各年龄组缺血性卒中的重要病因,在年轻患者的卒中病例中占很大比例。颈动脉夹层可由创伤、潜在的结缔组织疾病、高血压、机械损伤引起,也可能是自发的。我们报告一例极为罕见的因茎突过长导致颈动脉夹层的病例,茎突过长对颈动脉造成了直接机械损伤。
