Internal carotid artery dissection
comment
The internal carotid begins at the bifurcation of the common carotid, opposite the upper border of the thyroid cartilage, and runs perpendicularly upward. It supplies the anterior part of the brain, the eye and its appendages, and sends branches to the forehead and nose. Interstitial hemorrhage into the media of the vessel wall can lead to occlusion of the internal carotid artery and aneurysm formation.
