Carotid artery dissection caused by Eagle syndrome

Cervical artery dissection is caused by the separation of the vessel wall layers following either a tear in the intima or rupture of the vasa vasorum, with bleeding within the media, and is a potential source of thromboembolism, resulting in cerebral ischemia. Cervical artery dissection can be traum...
