A 56 year old left landed male patient was evaluated for left-sided hemiparesis and aphasia in the emergency department. His cranial CT was assessed normal and NIH score was assessed 24 then he undergone thrombolytic therapy. His NIH score was decreased to 14 after 24 hours. At extracranial dupplex USG, cranial MRI and MR-Angiography, done the same day there were findings for carotid dissection. At MR-anjio repeated 5 days later, partial recanalization were seen. At control cranial CT only striocapsüler infarct was seen. There was no any evidence of bleeding as complication. Here we present a rare case of extracranial carotid artery dissection case undergone IV thrombolytic therapy and want to take attention that in carotid dissection IV thrombolytic therapy is quiet safe and there is no difference of complication such as hemorrhage and the prognosis is no different then those with no carotid dissection.trinfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessCarotid Dissection; Prognosis; Thrombolytic TherapyFibrinolytic Agent; Adult; Aphasia; Article; Brain Ischemia; Carotid Artery Injury; Case Report; Computer Assisted Tomography; Echography; Emergency Ward; Fibrinolytic Therapy; Hemiparesis; Human; Magnetic Resonance Angiography; Male; Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging; RecanalizationArticle19129322-s2.0-84884372436N/A
