description Much is known about the implications of carotid artery dissection (ICAD), especially in the elderly population with abundant risk factors. However, the burden of ICAD in the young population is not extensively studied, and data in this area are few and far between. We present the case of a healthy American male who presented to the emergency department following visual disturbances that started at the gym a few hours before the presentation.
