Abstract
Bilateral traumatic internal carotid artery (ICA) dissection after CrossFit training is an extremely rare and life-threatening condition associated with high risk of cerebral ischemia. Several imaging modalities are involved in its clinical evaluation and clinical decision-making. Anticoagulation and antiplatelet management, endovascular therapy, and open surgical intervention are the available options for ICA dissection treatment. This report details a bilateral traumatic ICA dissection after CrossFit training treated with antiplatelet and anticoagulation therapy.
