Common carotid artery dissection after thyroid fine needle aspiration biopsy

The injury of Brachiocephalic arteries due to thyroid fine needle aspiration biopsy is rare. Carotid artery dissection after thyroid fine needle aspiration biopsy was reported in limited numbers in the current literature. We present localized common carotid artery dissection just above the carotid-subclavian bifurcation. Our case report concerns the proper standard carotid artery dissection after the fine needle aspiration biopsy procedure.
