Abstract

A case of tandem occlusion consisting of right internal carotid artery (ICA) origin dissection and middle cerebral artery (MCA) thromoboembolism is reported. A 45 year-old male with right-sided neurological symptoms of emergent large vessel occlusion was treated with same-session angioplasty and mechanical thrombectomy of the respective lesions. The complete neurological recovery and radiological investigations are chronicled herein, and a review of the state of tandem occlusion management is discussed.
