Cervical artery dissection is a frequent cause of stroke, more so in young patients. Innominate artery (IA) dissection is uncommon, and most often associated with dissection of other major arteries like the aorta. The leading cause of IA injury is high-energy thoracic trauma, as in motor vehicle crash. IA dissection after blunt trauma is rare. We described here the unusual case and iconography of an isolated IA dissection after rifle recoil initially presenting as a stroke.
