[Carotid dissection during childbirth].
A 33-year-old woman presented transient ischemic attach (hemiparesis of the left arm and right amaurosis), 14 days after childbirth, due to dissection of the right carotid that occurred probably during delivery as suggested by right earache at that time. Carotid dissection during pregnancy or after childbirth is rare an exceptional during delivery. Neurological symptoms and arterial lesions were followed by duplex ultrasound.
