    AbstractTraumatic dissection of the carotid artery is an easily overlooked consequence of trauma with notable morbidity and mortality which can be observed in up to 4% of cases involving multiple trauma. Certain mechanisms and patterns of injury as well as specific symptoms should serve as indicators of a dissection and should therefore result in further diagnostic measures. An early diagnosis is of major relevance. This report describes the case of a 45-year-old victim of a traffic accident who showed symptoms of a dissection which had initially not been diagnosed.
