Description
Lai and Ratnayake report in twenty twenty-five a stroke case with a rare twist. A woman in her fifties had a small, deep stroke. Scans then showed she was missing a major neck artery on the same side. A narrow bone channel proved the artery never formed, rather than being blocked later. Blood flow to her brain held up through other routes, and no usual stroke risk factors were found.
