Description

Nounaka and five co-authors present a case report from twenty twenty-four on bypass surgery for a torn inner carotid artery in the skull. No set guidelines exist for this rare dissection. A forty-six-year-old woman arrives with headache and left-side weakness. On day ten, higher brain symptoms appear from low blood flow. Surgeons connect a scalp artery to a brain artery as a bypass. Flow through the graft stays open afterward. Her cortical symptoms improve with the added supply.

Special contrast scans show artery wall changes in the acute phase. The native artery's outline recovers from day eighteen. She transfers to rehabilitation without worsening. The authors review like cases to weigh timing and options.
