Emboli stroke following migration of carotid foreign body: A case report
Foreign body embolization can cause intracranial artery occlusion with ischemic stroke. Reported etiologies include post cerebrovascular interventions, migration of esophageal foreign body and neck trauma. We reported a case with punctured wound at left neck, X-ray and computed tomography revealed a...
