Carotid artery dissection is a condition whereby the layers of the carotid artery are spontaneously separated. This potentially compromises blood flow to some regions of the brain and can lead to a stroke. Furthermore, it can occur extracranially or intracranially and can lead to subarachnoid hemorrhage or brain ischemia. It is the most common cause of strokes in younger patients, and the importance of making a timely diagnosis is paramount to minimize the potential morbidity and mortality of the disease. This activity describes the causes, pathophysiology, and presentation of carotid artery dissection and highlights the interprofessional team’s role in managing these patients.
