title: Traumatic dissection of the internal carotid artery as unusual cause of hypoglossal nerve dysfunction.
abstract: A dissection of the internal carotid artery (ICA) in a 50-year-old man with hypoglossal nerve dysfunction is reported. This case illustrates how non-invasive imaging techniques, such as computed tomography and magnetic resonance angiography, can demonstrate this unusual etiology.
