title: Magnetic resonance imaging in carotid dissection.
abstract: Magnetic Resonance Imaging was performed in two cases of suspected internal carotid artery dissection. In both cases it was possible to demonstrate the dissection. It is suggested that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) could replace more invasive techniques in the diagnosis of this condition.
