Abstract

Introduction

Acute bilateral acute carotid arteries occlusion is a very rare condition.

Summary

We describe a patient with initial right middle cerebral artery syndrome who developed coma and quadriplegia 1 h after thrombolysis with intravenous tPA and was found to have bilateral cervical internal carotid artery occlusion.
