ABSTRACT = {Stroke while driving is an uncommon occurrence, but which might have serious medical and legal implications. While still reported casually and with very few systematized studies, sources underscore mainly the neurological picture and risk factors that will lead herein. Car crashes follow as a rule the event of the stroke. We describe the case of a middle-aged patient that had an incomplete loss of the car control, with a crash of minor severity and with no external signs of trauma. In spite that the patient underwent successfully a thrombectomy intervention, he presented continuously with refractory hypotension. The clinical picture raised suspicions of an internal blood loss and whole body angiography detected the rupture of the mesenteric artery. This sequence of events (stroke while driving – crash – seatbelt injury – mesenteric rupture) is probably not reported before, but mechanistically an unlucky combination to be kept in mind while dealing with such cases.},

AB  - Stroke while driving is an uncommon occurrence, but which might have serious medical and legal implications. While still reported casually and with very few systematized studies, sources underscore mainly the neurological picture and risk factors that will lead herein.

We describe the case of a middle-aged patient that had an incomplete loss of the car control, with a crash of minor severity and with no external signs of trauma. In spite that the patient underwent successfully a thrombectomy intervention, he presented continuously with refractory hypotension.
