Internal carotid artery dissection triggered by the act of defecation
The Internet Journal of Neurology, 11/04/09
Mathis S et al. – A 54 year–old woman presented 3 episodes of right brachiofacial weakness with left amaurosis after an intensive effort of defecation in a context of severe constipation. These neurological disorders were secondary to a left internal carotid artery dissection triggered by defecation. To the best of authors' knowledge, it’s the first description of an internal artery dissection induced by an effort of defecation.
