This article reports an unusual case of positional compression of internal carotid artery resulting in carotid thrombosis and stroke in a 37-year-old man. A patient was operated urgently for a free-floating thrombotic mass in the internal carotid artery. Open thrombectomy was performed in acute phase of stroke for prevention of the recapitulative cerebral thromboembolism. Hemiplegia completely disappeared within 7 months.

D002545 Brain Ischemia Localized reduction of blood flow to brain tissue due to arterial obstruction or systemic hypoperfusion.
