Abstract/OtherAbstract:
This article reports an unusual case of positional compression of internal carotid artery resulting in carotid thrombosis and stroke in a 37-year-old man. A patient was operated urgently for a free-floating thrombotic mass in the internal carotid artery. Open thrombectomy was performed in acute phase of stroke for prevention of the recapitulative cerebral thromboembolism. Hemiplegia completely disappeared within 7 months.
