Embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS) is not uncommon in young patients. Here, we describe two cases of stroke from an unusual aetiology; cerebral embolization from carotid artery injury presumed secondary to hyoid bone impingement. Both patients demonstrated angiographic evidence of hyoid bone impingement. Following resection of the greater cornu of the hyoid bone, neither patient had further strokes.
不明来源栓塞性卒中（ESUS）在年轻患者中并不罕见。在此，我们描述两例病因不寻常的卒中病例；推测因舌骨撞击继发颈动脉损伤导致脑栓塞。两名患者均有舌骨撞击的血管造影证据。在切除舌骨大角后，两名患者均未再发生卒中。
