Traumatic occlusion of the middle cerebral artery. Case report.

✓ A case is reported of a patient rendered unconscious in a motorcycle accident. After a 6-hour lucid interval, he became unconscious again, and a left hemiplegia was noted. Arteriography demonstrated complete occlusion of the right middle cerebral artery. Comparable reported cases and theories of pathogenesis are discussed.
