Abstract

We report a traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the internal carotid artery bifurcation and subclavian artery with recurrent strokes events in a 19-year-old man. He was admitted with an acute left hemiparesis. His history revealed a similar episode 1 year and a major car accident 3 years previously. Contrast enhanced MR angiography confirmed colour Doppler sonographic findings of a carotid and subclavian artery pseudoaneurysm presumably resulting from seat-belt trauma. The pseudoaneurysm, containing thrombus, was thought to be the source of artery-to-artery embolism.
